Windermere is a conlang based on similarities between Hebrew and Mon-Khmer languages, such as final stress, minor syllables and overall head-initial syntax. It is also meant to have a mutation system, much like Celtic and Hebrew.
It was originally created by Praimhín (the last version was used for the Fifth Linguifex Relay). I'm reviving it, as a classical language in Talma replacing Netagin - this version will also be more synthetic than the original creator envisioned.
