'''The Flewtish language''' (Flewtish: ''Флитԝа'' [ˈɸlitwa] PHLEE-twa) is a linguistically isolated language spoken in the Severnaya Zemlya islands. Flewtish along with Lifaka (Another closely related and poorly attested language) constitute the Flewtish language family.
<b>Flewtish</b> ([[w:Endonym|endonym]]: <b>''Flutwa''</b> [ˈɸlutwa] or <b>''Flutwas glung''</b> [ˈɸlutwas ɡluŋ]) is a language spoken by the majority of the population in much of Northwest Russia and the [[w:Karelia|Karelia region]]. Flewtish is a [[w:Language isolate|language isolate]], meaning it does not (with our current knowledge) [[w:Genetic relationship (linguistics)|genetically relate]] to any other language on the planet.


==Etymology==
Flewtish is typologically agglutinative, using almost exclusively suffixal affixation to indicate number, tense, person and case. Flewtish is partially a [[w:Null-subject language|null-subject language]], depending on whether the subject can be implicitly indicated with certainty or not. Due to the [[w:Sprachbund|sprachbund effect]], Flewtish is an [[w:Subject–verb–object word order|SVO language]], but more archaic dialects are actually [[w:Subject–object-verb word order|SOV ones]].
Flewtish comes from the Proto-Flewtish word *''/ˈfliːθa/'', which does not have any certain meaning confirmed but most likely means "The known one".

Flewtish (endonym: Flutwa [ˈɸlutwa] or Flutwas glung [ˈɸlutwas ɡluŋ]) is a language spoken by the majority of the population in much of Northwest Russia and the Karelia region. Flewtish is a language isolate, meaning it does not (with our current knowledge) genetically relate to any other language on the planet.

Flewtish is typologically agglutinative, using almost exclusively suffixal affixation to indicate number, tense, person and case. Flewtish is partially a null-subject language, depending on whether the subject can be implicitly indicated with certainty or not. Due to the sprachbund effect, Flewtish is an SVO language, but more archaic dialects are actually SOV ones.
