The [[Pamarėska|Pomorian language]] or [[Pamarėska|Pamarėska gålba]], język pomorski (in [[w:Polish language|Polish]]) is a [[w:Balto-Slavic languages|Balto-Slavic]] language spoken in the region of [[w:Pomerelia|Pomorze Wschodnie]] in Northern Poland from [[w:Gdynia|Gdynia]] city to the town of [[w:Braniewo|Braniewo]], mostly in rural areas. There are at least 20 000 speakers (including second-language speakers knowing the language on an elementary level), of which less than 4000 speak Pomorian natively. Most of the native speakers are at the age of 50 or above, while younger generation usually speaks Polish as their first language.
'''[[Avendoniano]]''' (Englico: ''Avendonian''; <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" style="font-family:Gentium,'DejaVu Sans','Segoe UI',sans-serif">[[IPA for Avendonian|[avendoˈni̯ano&#93;]]</span>) bi una [[w:West Germanic language|Vestoteodisca spaca]], co [strong influence] of [[w:Vulgar Latin|Vulgar Latin]].

Eventually, permanent settlements were established in what would become modern-day Avendonia, where Avendonian is primarily spoken, with official status.
 
Ablaut, still productive in Pomorian, was inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic period. It changes the morphological form of the word. For example ''"snė͂ge"'' (older ''snai͂ges'') means "snow", ''"snigtì"'' (older ''"snigteĩ"'') to snow ''"snẽdze"''(older ''"snegḗti"'') "it snows".
 
There are seven (or six if count the sixth and the seventh as one) noun declensions in Pomorian. Nouns have seven cases: '''Nominative''', '''Genitive''', '''Dative''', '''Accusative''', '''Instrumental''', '''Locative''' and '''Vocative'''. In Pomorian Proper most nouns have only two numbers: '''singular''' and '''plural''', while in Western and Southern dialects there is also a '''dual''' number. An interesting feature is using nominative plural only for 3 or 4 items, making it effectively paucal, for example ''try/cetūri sūnave'' (three/four sons), but ''pęči sūnų'' (five sons) where genitive plural is used instead. However it is not viewed as a separate grammatical number.


Unlike in other Balto-Slavic languages composition in Pomorian is a very productive way to form new words. The process occurs readily in Germanic languages. Along with affixation it is used to create words for describing new meanings and these newly-created words can be very long and thus used mostly in literature. Examples of both composition and affixation are shown in the table below:

Avendoniano (Englico: Avendonian; [avendoˈni̯ano]) bi una Vestoteodisca spaca, co [strong influence] of Vulgar Latin. It is the result of a prolonged contact among members of both regions, after West Germanic merchants began travelling to and from the Western Roman Empire. These connections—and the conquest by the Germanic tribes of the northern skirts of the Roman Empire—slowly formed a creole for mutual communication. Eventually, permanent settlements were established in what would become modern-day Avendonia, where Avendonian is primarily spoken, with official status.

While its vocabulary derives for the most part from Proto-Germanic, Latin influence is most notable in its phonology and its grammar.

Avendonian grammar is relatively straightforward and akin to the grammar of other Romance languages, due to the influence of Latin.

  1. Two sets of articles, indefinite and definite, preceding the noun.
  2. Gender and number inflection in nouns, adjectives, and pronouns. Articles and adjectives must agree inflection-wise with the noun or pronoun they modify.
  3. Twofold gender system, masculine and feminine. Loss of Latin neuter gender.
  4. Fusional verb inflection for person, number, mood, and tense.

However, noun and adjective declension endings, along with the ablaut in strong verbs are elements derived from Germanic.

There are six major dialects of Avendonian. Central Avendonian (or midio) is considered the standard language, and it is the language most of the author's work is based upon. The main features of the other five dialects will be discussed in the following sections.
