Reardic creole (Autonym: Jèrmànikofrañçè; Reardish: [ʒɛʀ.ma.ni.ko.fʀɑ̃.sɛ]) is a French-based creole spoken by the Reardic French community in Northern France.

Reardic creole has its origins in a Reardish population that migrated to Northern France, this population was subsumed into the local French speaking population, who's language was then influenced heavily by Reardish, this was then followed by the French population engaging in heavy trade with the Reardish of Britain, leading to the development of Reardic creole.

Reardic creole is typically written in the Latin alphabet, using the Insular script, a cursive script based on French cursive is used, it modifies several letter forms to make them closer to their Insular counterpart.

-Nouns decline for five cases: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, instrumental.

-Pronouns decline largely the same as nouns, except for having a duel in the first and second persons. The plural third person pronouns have been entirely leveled, so the masculine, feminine, and neuter third person plurals decline identically, though a formal "Archaic masculine" is retained, and has been shifting to have the usage of a formal third person plural.{{efn|In casual speech, this "Archaic masculine" is instead used as an inanimate pronoun, effectively shifting it to an animacy distinction.}}
