ðſʒ ct fi ff st ß sz ſs ſt tz ts TESTING ðſʒ

• Use of Old Portuguse habits such as superscript n (e.g. ano > ão for a crude example).
• Use of long-s (ſ) in clusters and various ligatures. E.g. ſs (ß), or even make that ſʒ (and similarly ts > tʒ).

Phonology

• Undergo changes remniscent of Western Romance languages. E.g. himmilaz > emmel, embla; braudą > broða (> brueða?); stuppa > stoppa > estuepa OR stuppa > estopa?

Vocabulary

• Loan in a whole bunch of words from Latin that aren't normally loaned in. E.g. equus > equa, jeva?

• Caballus > kvalla > qvalla; qvallaria, qvallera(s).

Grammar

• Loan in some inflections from Latin/Romance for prestige. E.g. -atis > -aðes/-eðis; maybe -us for -a and -a for -o:?
• Figure out prepositions.

Possible Example

"Eſʒaðes vus, qvalleri, bróðvm ã ẽa tabla? Saiaðe ð̃ eſʒ nõ eſt treivs, ð̃ ríðeri vã armaða, cneiti vã rei, eſʒãt bróðvm dereite úſʒ cvcĩa sîe fraĩia".

"Eſʒaðes vus, qvalleri, bróðvm ã ẽa tabla? Saiaðe ðs̃ eſʒ nõ eſt treivs, ðs̃ ríðeri vã armaða, cneiti vã rei, eſʒãt bróðvm dereite úſʒ cvcĩa sĩe fraĩia".

"Are you, cavaliers, eating bread on a table? Say that it isn't true, that horsemen of the army, servants of the king, are eating bread directly from the kitchen without asking".

POSSIBLE CHANGES:

• -aðes and -aðe merge
• de replaces or takes over some of the role of vã
• sĩe > sĩ?
• le, l' introduced as definite article?
• stress patterns established with acute? What about ríðeri? ríðerus, ríðarius? Hmmm... I like riðarius, quallarus also works I guess. Equarius, is that a legit word? (jevarius? eparius?)
• cucina, cocina, coqvina or what?
• make ã merged with at etc into à or á as a catch all preposition, and make uvar/sovre/super the "on" preposition? Or maybe just "op"? Maybe super > svper > sṽ > "su".
• Even though it's written ð̃, possibly in other less frequent cases ð > d, like in OHG. Thus only intervocalic d should become ð.

Eccletic Texts

Too lazy to write a coherent grammar. Other people can just imagine it based on these texts, surely.

War - Bellvm

• For allvm õder cielvm nos féitãvm devémus

For all under heaven, we must fight (motto?)

• Cneiti : soldati, riðeri, eqvetes, eqvari

Knights: soldiers, riders, master of horses, horsemen (proto-thesaurus entry?)

Misc

• Dẽx roſʒvlvs qvemat roſʒeau et roſʒl ; l' corda citéʒanalia [..] úſʒã torvani vorða eſʒant[..] séʒant ðs̃ ella nõ svnt nova.

Out of "rossulus" came "rosseau" and "rossl"; the citizenry's hearts [..] but [torvan]s eat words [..] [they] say that they are not new. (reflection on language change or regionalisms, possible register differences?)

Possible contemporaneous languages (is that even a word?
