Germian ('''Germic''' IPA: '''/germiʃ/''') is a conlang created by Jeppesper beginning in 2022. ''Germ'' stands for it being based of off Germanic languages. It could be considered an engineered language since it is constructed to be regular, simple, recognizable, lack grammatical gender and gender differentiation of nouns/pronouns. The conlang is mainly based on English, German, Dutch and Swedish, but it has to smaller extends also been partially influenced by Afrikaans, Danish, Norwegian, Yiddish, West-frisian, Luxembourgish and Icelandic.
Germian ('''Germic''' IPA: '''/germiʃ/''') is a conlang created by Jeppesper beginning in 2022, ''germ'' stands for it being based of off Germanic languages.

==Culture==
===Cultural philosophy===
('''Stoicism + Buddhism + Absurdism + Individual reflection''')
'''Stance on higher power'''
1. Does not believe in any higher power(s).
2. Everything can be explained by science, only our knowledge is limited.
3. Instead of following a faith, one follows philosophy and a just lifestyle:
If there is any higher power(s) and they're just, then you will be rewarded by your virtuous acts.
If there is any higher power(s) and they're unjust, then you shouldn't want to follow them anyways.
If there is no higher power(s), then your virtuous acts will live on in the memory of your loved ones.
'''Stance on life, death and time'''
1. There most probably nothing after death, since every idea of what we think as an afterlife is just our wishful thinking that we have no basis for believing in.
2. Existence has no inherent meaning. Although life doesn't "lack" meaning because there was never room for meaning to begin with, life is a fact not a meaning.
3. Humans have an inherent need for meaning in a universe were meaning is irrelevant, this is absurd. We either tend to make a leap of faith to something abstract and irrational or turn to physical escape or destruction to escape this absurdity, but one ought to embrace the absurdity instead.
4. However, one should not reject life nor turn to faith when facing this crippling reality. One should instead accept this fact and still rejoice in life and its small things despite or because of their "lack of" meaning, because the fact of these things existing ought to be enough. Or if you will, may the joy and appreciation of "meaninglessness" be an act of rebellion.
5. Death is not the opposite of life, but an innate preconditioned part of it. Death is not something to fear, avoid, lament or hate. Death is outside our control, our view of death is our responsibility, and we can learn to accept it as a part of life, as neither good nor bad. Grief is of course important when experiencing the death of someone, and it ought to be practiced in a healthy way.
6. "Memento mori" - "Remember that one [has to] die" works as a reminder of one's mortality and inevitable death. It gives one perspective on life to value one's time since one has been given time in the first place.
7. "Protect time like your money". Value your time and don't waste any time in the day on the trivial and vain. Don't waste time worrying on problems one can't do anything about, and act instead of worry about problems one can do something about.
8. Try to remember and cherish more than regret or mourning things and experiences.
'''Stance on ego and identity'''
Ancient stoic take on ego death. Modern usage of ego deaths usually refers to our self-esteem, and our tendency to defend our self-esteem against attack, and our tendency to view the world in terms of our perceived identities. For example, if people identify themselves in terms of their political preferences or their social status or their skill set, then they will defend these abstractions as they defend themselves, and they will interact with the world as members of these groups.
The ancient Stoics would say that all of these things are external to us, that they come and go and there is no need to cling to them, and that it is a falsehood to identify one's self with them. Our real selves, as they see it, are our judgment and our will, our capacity for choice and experience. The part of you that is convinced of things, and that chooses things, is the real you. Everything else is external to you, a thing that you might enjoy or use while it is available, but not part of your core self.
We are entities, we have ideas and beliefs of who we are that we identify with. These are identities. Identities might help convey information, but are in actuality external to us. We ought to stop forming self-images of ourselves from these identities since these external views of ourselves are clouding our experience as self-entities. This is because our self-entities are in fact impossible for us to concretely think of.
Remove external beliefs/ideas of what you think you are and realize that you can't actually think of yourself. Reach ego-death. When you feel hurt/triggered by potential "harm" in social situations, it is just the false idea (based on external things) of what you think you are (self-image) that gets threatened.
Unblock your survival from fear, pleasure from regret, willpower from shame, love from grief, truth from lies, insight from illusion and pure conscience of experience from worldly desires to reach one’s own full and true potential.
'''Disciplines/Principles/Practices'''
1. Only virtue is good, only vice is bad, everything else is indifferent. Virtue is sufficient for happiness.
Practice and strive for the 4 stoic virtues: Justice, wisdom, temperance and courage. Avoid the 4 vices: Injustice, foolishness, intemperance and cowardice.
Wisdom means being able to tell what's right and what's wrong without prejudice, approaching everything  logically and calmy and understand what is to be chosen or avoided. Justice means to always be fair and do the right thing even when something is wrong. Courage is to do the right thing even if you feel like it can be harmful for you, facing challenges and struggles without complaint, applying wisdom to things we fear. Temperance is the willpower for volontary self-restraint and moderation to things we are attracted to and ought not to be gluttoned.
2. After the first impression, interpretation of reality, and emotional analysis of an event, one should not go for the emotional response, one should instead make a rational analysis and then a rational response.
3. Anger is an emotion that erodes the fabric of who we are. Thus one ought to learn how to control it. "One's anger is more likely to do more harm than how much someone is wrong".
4. “The Discipline of Desire”, which has to do with acceptance of our fate.
Don't waste time on things you can't control or influence. Don’t desire what is out of your control e.g. never to die, never get sick, never get in an accident etc. Once something that's outside of your control happens, you make the best of what you got at hand to deal with it. Prepare yourself for the worst possible outcomes based on the true nature of things and hope for the best. Having an idealized fantasy as the expected outcome (desiring something unnatural) is going to crush you every time. It’s ok to prefer that the thing you desire won't turn bad, but know it is in the realm of possibilities that it will. Play by nature’s rules, and don’t desire the outcome to be anything outside of the realm of possibilities.
• “The Discipline of Action”, which has to do with philanthropy or love of humankind.
Mastering impulse to act and impulse not to act. This is a gentler form of desire and aversion. We are to appeal to different roles we have. These form a hierarchy.
[1] Universal role as a human being.
At the top of the list is health and taking care of ourselves. The next thing we do is to appeal to our particular talents, and cultivate what we're best at and most interested in. This is going towards your nature. To go against your nature would be to pursue things that you're not really interested in.
[2] Appealing to our specific relationships with other people. Am I a parent, a partner, a friend?
An example that Epictetus uses is a father who is not able to care for his sick daughter. He runs away from his daughter, he leaves the house, he can't handle the fact that his daughter might die.
The idea here is that this is not someone who has mastered desire and aversion. He thinks death is a bad thing, he's afraid of his daughter dying, he hasn't come to terms with what his ultimate value system should be under the Stoic picture. And because of that, it is interfering with his capacity to fulfill his obligation to other people. He's not able to fulfill his obligation as a father because he's still afraid.
[3] Preference
If it doesn't go against reason, if it doesn't go against your interests, if it doesn't go against your relationships with other people, you are free to choose whatever you prefer.
• “The Discipline of Assent”, which has to do with mindfulness of our judgements.
Assent means agreement. The discipline of assent involves making correct judgements about the nature of the external world and events that occur in it.
As a practicing Stoic, we need to know that we assent to value judgements of things that occur around us that were made by us consciously or unconsciously. This can affect how we feel about the event.
We can use a three step process of- Stop it, Strip it and See it.
Step 1: Stop it- Stop the value judgment in its tracks. See that you can stop it before it can affect you.
Step 2: Strip it- Strip the value judgment and see through it. Most things that we perceive are nothing more than mere indifference that we can see through if we take a moment to observe it more clearly. As Marcus Aurelius writes in Meditations, "When you have savories and fine dishes set before you, you will gain an idea of their nature if you tell yourself that this is the corpse of a fish, and that the corpse of a bird or a pig; or again, that fine Falernian wine is merely grape-juice, and this purple robe some sheep’s wool dipped in the blood of a shellfish; and as for sexual intercourse, it is the friction of a piece of gut and, following a sort of convulsion, the expulsion of mucus." (VI.13)
Step 3: See it- See the event from a cosmic viewpoint. Whatever is happening at that moment may seem out of ordinary and inconvenient but try to look at it in the grander scheme of things. Maybe this was always supposed to happen and what has happened may have set a new course for you.
5. Practice mindfulness and seek nature to find clarity
6. Follow the 5 Buddhist precepts as a form of standard behavior: Don't abuse words, don't abuse senses, don't intoxicate, don't take what is not given and don't kill.
7. Acknowledge, appreciate, respect and value: Nature and life, others' humanity and diversity, learning new things, experiences and change.
8. Practice responsibility and kindness, avoid laziness and cruelty
9. Always remember to be responsible and to mindfully organize these 7 things when one is lost: self, health, environment, relationships, work, interests and experiences.
10. One ought to follow a Nonviolent Communication (NVC) style, also called Giraffe language, to reach the most effective, optimal and rational conclusion. Explain the situation/problem, explain how it affects, explain what is needed, and give suggestions how to compromise.

==Phonotactics==
==Phonotactics==
*Note: These phonotactics may  vary for loan words and words with foreign letter/sound translitterations.
1. There are no silent letters.
2. There is no phonemic reduced vowel sound like English's /ə/.
3. Multiple consonants, vowels and diphthong combinations interact as follows:
'''Double consonants (that aren't part of a digraph) are pronounced with a syllable break:'''
'''Double consonants (that aren't part of a digraph) are pronounced with a syllable break:'''


<small>'''Example:''' bb = /b.b/</small>

===Numerals===
===Numerals===
Ordinal numbers are marked by adding the suffix "-ce"
1. Ordinal numbers are marked by adding the suffix "-ce" to a number.
 
2. Spaces are used to group digits in numerals e.g. 20 000.
 
3. Fractions are marked by adding the suffix "-deil" (deil ⇄ part, piece) to a number (exeption for "helft ⇄ half").
 
4. The comma is used as the decimal separator.


===Capitalization===
===Capitalization===
Capital letters are used for the first word of a sentence and for proper nouns.
Capital letters are used for the first word of a sentence and for proper nouns.


The proper nouns in Germian are exclusively: personal names, place names, titles and organization names.
The proper nouns in Germian are exclusively: personal names, place names, marketed titles and organization names.
 
===Punctuation===
'''Apostrophe'''
 
The apostrophe ( ’, ' ), is used to mark letters omitted in contractions.
 
 
'''Brackets'''
 
Brackets ( [...], (...), {...}, ⟨...⟩ ), are used for parenthesis, explanation or comment.
 
Question marks, exclamation points, semicolons, colons, periods and commas are placed inside the brackets when they apply only to the explanation or comment; if they syntactically apply to the sentence containing the material, they are placed outside the marks.
 
 
'''Colon'''
 
The colon ( : ) is used to start an enumeration and it is used between two clauses when the second clause otherwise clarifies the first.
 
 
'''Comma'''
 
The comma ( , ) is used to disambiguate the meaning of sentences, by providing boundaries between clauses and phrases.
 
The comma is also used as the decimal separator.
 
 
'''Dash and hyphen'''
 
'''The (en-) dash (–) is used:'''
 
1. as a replacement for a comma, when the subsequent clause significantly shifts the primary focus of the preceding text.
 
2. to indicate spans or differentiation, where it may replace "and", "to", or "through" e.g. numbers "1–10", and cross countries "US–Canada".
 
3. to mark someone speaking.
 
4. to mark the one who said something.
 
 
'''The hyphen/hyphen-minus ( ‐ ) is used:'''
 
1. as a line continuation when a word is broken across two lines.
 
2. to apply a prefix to a word for which there is no canonical compound word;
 
 
'''Ellipsis'''
 
An ellipsis ( ..., …, . . .) is used to mark omitted text or when a sentence trails off.
 
 
'''Exclamation mark'''
 
The exclamation mark ( ! ) is used to mark an exclamation.
 
 
'''Period/full stop/full point'''
 
The character known as the period/full stop/full point ( . ) serves multiple purposes. It is used to mark the end of a sentence, to indicate abbreviation, including of names as initials, as well as a separation marker when listing things with numbers e.g. "1. 2. 3.".
 
 
'''Question mark'''
 
The question mark ( ? ) is used to mark the end of a sentence which is a question.
 
 
'''Quotation marks'''
 
Quotation marks ( ‘...’, “...”, '...', "..." ) are used in pairs to set off quotation, with two levels for distinguishing nested quotations: single and double. Germian texts favours double quotation marks for the primary quotation.
 
Question marks, exclamation points, semicolons, colons, periods and commas are placed inside the quotation marks when they apply only to the quoted material; if they syntactically apply to the sentence containing or introducing the material, they are placed outside the marks.
 
 
'''Semicolon'''
 
The semicolon ( ; ) is used to separate two independent but related clauses. The semicolon is also used to separate list items when the list items contain commas.
 
 
'''Slash'''
 
The slash ( / ) is often used to indicate alternatives or two equivalent meanings or spellings. The slash can also be used in certain set phrases.
 
===Abbreviations===
Acronyms (initials for a phrase) and abbreviations are used in written Germian. They can be written in all caps, lowercase, title form and with periods.
 
==Word creation==
A word in Germian is created by looking at the equivalent words for it in English, German, Dutch and Swedish to then find the most prominant phonological features within these equivalent words. Then these features are used to create a word in accordance to germian phonology and orthography. Sometimes it is clear that these languages' equivalent words are very much the same and can be translated very phonologically e.g. through cat /kæt/ in English, Katze /katzɛ
/ in German, kat /kat/ in Dutch and katt /kat/ in Swedish, it becomes kat /kat/ in Germian. Sometimes there are more significant differences between words of the Germanic languages, but if they work well together they can just be merged together. When there are bigger differences between words of the four Germanic languages that can't be merged, then one can look at the word in other Germanic languages to even it out.
 
When words in the Germanic languages have differences that don't interact well, or when one just has an idea of an interesting sounding variation of the word that fits, then creative liberty can be pursued.
 
Sometimes there are many words for the same thing in a language, and for diversity's sake, many of them can have a Germian equivalent e.g. "cau" and "halo" from German's "ciao" and "hallo", "dae" from Dutch's "dag", "hei" from Swedish's "hej", "guutein" from English's "have a good one", and then Germian's exclusive "hae".
 
Sometimes there are strong similarities for a word within two of the four Germanic languages and between the other two Germanic languages but not between all four. Then both pairs get a Germian equivalent but with slightly different meanings e.g. German's "farb" with Swedish's "färg" made the Germian word "farb" (paint), and English's "color" with Dutch's "kleur" made the Germian word "kolur" (color).
 
====Compound words====
When creating a Germian compound word one ought to look at each of the 4 Germanic languages' equivalent words to decide how it will be formed. There are 3 types of compound words in Germian:
 
 
''Closed compound words''
 
''Example:'' apel + juus = apeljuus ⇄ applejuice
 
''Example:'' hamburger + brout = hamburgerbrout ⇄ hamburger bun, hamburger bread
 
 
''Open compound words''
 
Many open compound words function as nouns and are formed by combining a noun with another noun or with an adjective.
 
''Example:'' video speil ⇄ video game
 
''Example:'' ful moon ⇄ full moon
 
 
''Hyphenated compound words''
 
Hyphens are often used when a compound modifies a noun or verb.
 
''Example:'' CD + - + caifa = CD-caifa ⇄ CD-disc
 
''Example:'' maind + - + blasperen = maind-blasperen ⇄ mind-blowing
 
====Loan words====
Words from any other language that is getting a Germian equivalent will have to adapt the word to Germian phonology and orthography:
 
''Example:'' déjà vu ⇄ deica vue
 
 
Words in the four Germanic languages of which the conlang is based on (English, German, Dutch and Swedish) that are loan words will be treated as any other word:
 
''Example:'' sushi ⇄ suci
 
''Example:'' motto ⇄ moto
 
''Example:'' niche ⇄ niic
 
 
Sometimes Germian will loan words directly from one of the four Germanic languages.
 
''Example:'' Wi-Fi ⇄ Wi-Fi
 
''Example:'' internet ⇄ internet
 
====Countries & languages====
Creating words for country/region and language names is done through adapting the most standard and prominent endonymic name phonologically to Germian phonology and orthography e.g. Sverige /svɛrjɛ/ (Sweden) ⇄ Sverje. For languages the suffix "-ic" is added e.g. svenska /svɛnska/ (Swedish) ⇄ svenskaic
 
Words that are added to indicate specifics like "North" America, "South" America, "West" Frisian and names alike are to be translated to Germian and then added to the country/region or language name accordingly and as a closed compound word e.g. Nordamerika, Saudamerika, Vestfriskic.
