Rhemeican is a Romance language native to Asia Minor, being the only Western Romance language spoken east of Italy. Rhemeican descended from Classical Latin in the period of the Byzantine Empire and remained popular to this day, with over 14 million speakers. Rhemeican is largely influenced by both Greek and Turkish.
Etymology
Rhemeic- is a corruption of the word "Rhomaios", which was the Hellenized name for the Roman citizens and later the Christian populations that spoke Greek. Although speakers of this language did not speak Greek, they were Orthodox Christians, so they adopted the name from this.
Alphabet and Orthography
The Rhemeican alphabet consists of 28 letters, six of which are vowels and 23 are consonants.

Geographic Distribution and DemographicsGrekelin today has about 50 thousand speakers, spread out all across Central Europe. Out of them, 28.000 lived in Hungary, another 16.500 live in Serbia or Greece, and 15.500 live in Slovakia or Ukraine (Carpathia). It forms the majority language in villages of North Banat and some spread out parts of Slovakia and Ukraine. It forms a significant language in Hungary and is also spoken in Greece, primarily from learners. Generally, its speakers are considered of Greek descent or natives of the land they live in, adopting Grekelin as their language. The populations of Serbia and Slovakia speak the Slavic dialect whereas the Hungarian and Greek populations speak the Standard dialect. StressGrekelin does not have any rules on the stress placement. The stress may go on any position unless the final vowel is doubled*, where the stress is automatically passed there. The standard Grekelin dialect makes stressed syllables have longer length, a remnant of the Classical Greek vowel length feature. Slavic Grekelin instead makes all the phonemes have the same length. Doubled vowels are largely extinct in Modern Grekelin, as oo for example would become olo. WordsConversation
DialectsGrekelin has three dialects, depending on where each is or was spoken. SlavicThe Slavic ("Dialekti Slawin", "/djɑˈɫɛ.kti sɫɑvin/" or "/diaˈɫʲekta sɫɑvʲin/") dialect can be distinguished by some certain features that aren't present in Standard Grekelin:
The Slavic dialect is spoken fluently in the Vojvodina region of Serbia, where it is flourishing as a local language. It is also spoken by a tiny community living in Slovakia. UrlogrockaeThe Urlogrockae ("Urlegrekelin" dialect is the one used as the standard language. It's closer to Hungarian when it comes to phonetics but closer to Greek when it comes to orthography. Key features of this dialect, compared to the Slavic one and mainly to (Medieval) Greek are:
Western (Extinct)A more archaic and richer dialect is Western Grekelin. While not as diversified as the Slavic dialect, it remains a very interesting dialect. Some features include:
This dialect went extinct in the 18th century, being replaced by Standard Grekelin. Example textsBasic sentenceEnglish Lord's prayer
