==Introduction==

The original speakers of Hyperborean, the Jamix, belong to the European Pygmy phenotype whose urheimat is believed to have been the forests of prehistoric Central Europe. It is believed to have diverged from other ancient European lineages some 8,000 years ago. 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 other language, ancient or modern. It is believed however to form an ancient sprachbund with the Uralic languages, sharing such features as a bisyllabic root structure, primary stress on the first syllable, consonant gradation, the negative verb and ~~the~~ expression of 'have' using the copula and an oblique case. The dialect described below is the standard variety promulgated by the Hyperborean Commonwealth.
