Frenkisch is related to [[Folksprak]]. It is lexically very similar - the vocabulary building efforts for both languages are largely compatible and re-usable. However Frenkisch uses a different phonology and orthography to Folksprak, so the forms of cognate words are often different. For example Frenkisch '''ryde''' \ˈraɪdə\ means the same as Folksprak '''ride''' \ˈriːdə\ and both are based on the same sources. But they have different spelling and pronunciation. Also Frenkisch '''ryde''' is a strong/irregular verb (past tense '''reid-'''; past participle '''riden'''), whereas Folksprak '''ride''' is regular (past tense '''ridede'''; past participle '''rided''').  One of the main criteria for designing Folksprak has been simplicity of learning. This is less of a priority for Frenkisch. Consequently Frenkisch has a more complicated grammar and less regular spelling system.
