==Introduction==

The Hyperboreans (HB: Jamix) belong to the European Pygmy phenotype which is believed to have diverged from other ancient European lineages some 8,000 years ago, their urheimat being the forests of prehistoric central Europe. European pygmies exist in mostly scattered populations throughout Europe and speak a variety of largely unrelated languages. Hyperborean is a language isolate and has no traceable genealogical relation to any language, ancient or modern. It does however form a sprachbund with the Uralic languages, sharing the features of consonant gradation, the negative verb and expressing 'have' with the copula and an oblique case. The dialect described below is the standard variety promulgated by the Hyperborean Commonwealth (HB: ~~Tinqara~~ Anakte Telhun).
