Germian (Germic IPA: /germiʃ/) is a conlang created by Jeppesper beginning in 2022, germ stands for it being based of off Germanic languages. It could be thought of as a conditioned language since it is constructed to be regular, simple, recognizable, lack grammatical gender and gender differentiation of nouns/pronouns. The conlang is mainly based on English, German, Dutch and Swedish, but it has to smaller extends also been influenced by Afrikaans, Danish, Norwegian, Yiddish, West-frisian, Luxembourgish and Icelandic.

Phonotactics

1. There are no silent letters.

2. There is no phonemic reduced vowel sound like English's /ə/.

3. Multiple consonants, vowels and diphthong combinations interact as follows:

Double consonants (that aren't part of a digraph) are pronounced with a syllable break:

Example: bb = /b.b/

Vowels following each other that are not part of a vowel digraph/diphthong pair are not pronounced with a syllable break inbetween them:

Example: ia = /ɪa/

Example: iea = /ɪɛa/

Example: aioe = /a͡ɪ.ɔɛ/

The first 2 vowels that are viable as a vowel digraph/diphthong pair are the ones that will be pronounced as such:

Example: aii = /a͡ɪ.ɪ/

Example: eei = /eː.ɪ/

Not like: aii = /a.iː/

Not like: eei = /ɛ.ɛ͡ɪ/

Vowel digraph/diphthong pairs and single vowels that directly preceeds/follows a vowel digraph/diphthong pair are pronounced with a syllable break inbetween them:

Example: aaeiou = /ɑː.ɛ͡ɪ.ɔ͡ʊ/

Example: eaa = /ɛ.ɑː/

Example: aio = /a͡ɪ.ɔ/

Example: aaa = /ɑː.a/

Numerals

1. Ordinal numbers are marked by adding the suffix "-ce" to a number.

2. Spaces are used to group digits in numerals e.g. 20 000.

3. Fractions are marked by adding the suffix "-deil" (deil ⇄ part, piece) to a number (exeption for "helft ⇄ half").

Capitalization

Capital letters are used for the first word of a sentence and for proper nouns.

The proper nouns in Germian are exclusively: personal names, place names, marketed titles and organization names.

Punctuation

Apostrophe

The apostrophe ( ’, ' ), is used to mark letters omitted in contractions.

Brackets

Brackets ( [...], (...), {...}, ⟨...⟩ ), are used for parenthesis, explanation or comment.

Question marks, exclamation points, semicolons, colons, periods and commas are placed inside the brackets when they apply only to the explanation or comment; if they syntactically apply to the sentence containing the material, they are placed outside the marks.

Colon

The colon ( : ) is used to start an enumeration and it is used between two clauses when the second clause otherwise clarifies the first.

Comma

The comma ( , ) is used to disambiguate the meaning of sentences, by providing boundaries between clauses and phrases.

The comma is also used as the decimal separator.

Dash and hyphen

The dash ( –, — ) is used: 1. as a replacement for a comma, when the subsequent clause significantly shifts the primary focus of the preceding text.

2. to indicate spans or differentiation, where it may replace "and", "to", or "through" e.g. numbers "1—10", and cross countries "US—Canada".

3. to mark someone speaking.

4. to mark the one who said something.

The hyphen/hyphen-minus ( ‐ ) is used:

1. as a line continuation when a word is broken across two lines.

2. to apply a prefix to a word for which there is no canonical compound word;

Ellipsis

An ellipsis ( ..., …, . . .) is used to mark omitted text or when a sentence trails off.

Exclamation mark

The exclamation mark ( ! ) is used to mark an exclamation.

Period/full stop/full point

The character known as the period/full stop/full point ( . ) serves multiple purposes. It is used to mark the end of a sentence, to indicate abbreviation, including of names as initials, as well as a separation marker when listing things with numbers e.g. "1. 2. 3.".

Question marks

The question mark ( ? ) is used to mark the end of a sentence which is a question.

Quotation marks

Quotation marks ( ‘...’, “...”, '...', "..." ) are used in pairs to set off quotation, with two levels for distinguishing nested quotations: single and double. Germian texts favours double quotation marks for the primary quotation.

Question marks, exclamation points, semicolons, colons, periods and commas are placed inside the quotation marks when they apply only to the quoted material; if they syntactically apply to the sentence containing or introducing the material, they are placed outside the marks.

Semicolon

The semicolon ( ; ) is used to separate two independent but related clauses. The semicolon is also used to separate list items when the list items contain commas.

Slash

The slash ( / ) is often used to indicate alternatives or two equivalent meanings or spellings. The slash can also be used in certain set phrases.

Word creation

A word in germian is created by looking at the word equivalents for it in English, German, Dutch and Swedish to then find the most prominant phonological features within these word equivalents. Then these features are used to create a word in accordance to germian phonology and orthography. Sometimes it is clear that these language's word equivalents are very much the same and can be translated very phonologically; with cat /kæt/ in English, Katze /katzɛ / in German, kat /kat/ in Dutch and katt /kat/ in Swedish, it becomes kat /kat/ in Germian.

Sometimes many words like hi

sometimes bigger differences, merge words, use creative liberty piiron

create multiple words

sometimes use other germanic languages to even it out

Cultural philosophy

Stance on higher power

1. Does not believe in any higher power(s).

2. Everything can be explained by science, only our knowledge is limited.

3. Instead of following a faith, one follows philosophy and a just lifestyle:

If there is any higher power(s) and they're just, then you will be rewarded by your virtuous acts.

If there is any higher power(s) and they're unjust, then you shouldn't want to follow them anyways.

If there is no higher power(s), then your virtuous acts will live on in the memory of your loved ones.

Stance on life, death and time

1. There is most probably nothing after death, since every idea of what we think as an afterlife is just our wishful thinking that we have no basis for believing in.

2. Existence has no inherent meaning, because life is a fact not a meaning. Life doesn't "lack" meaning because there was never room for meaning to begin with.

3. Humans have an inherent need for meaning in a universe were meaning is irrelevant, this is absurd. We either tend to make a leap of faith to something abstract and irrational or turn to physical escape or destruction to escape this absurdity, but one ought to embrace the absurdity instead,

4. ... one should not, however, reject life nor turn to faith when facing this crippling reality. One should instead accept this fact and still rejoice in life and its small things despite or because of their "lack of" meaning, because the fact of these things existing ought to be enough. Or if you will, may the joy and appreciation of "meaninglessness" be an act of rebellion.

5. Death is not the opposite of life, but an innate preconditioned part of it. Death is not something to fear, avoid, lament or hate. Death is outside our control, our view of death is our responsibility, and we can learn to accept it as a part of life, as neither good nor bad. Grief is of course important when experiencing death, and it ought to be practiced in a healthy way.

6. "Memento mori" - "Remember that one [has to] die" works as a reminder of one's mortality and inevitable death. It gives one perspective on life to value one's time since one has been given time in the first place.

7. "Protect time like your money". Value your time and don't waste any time in the day on the trivial and vain. Don't waste time worrying on problems one can't do anything about, instead one ought to be responsible and to take care of problems one can do something about.

8. Practice remembering and cherishing things and experiences more than regretting and mourning the end of them. Also realize that a good thing isn't sad because it didn't happen, but it's real because it could've happened. Life is also not about milestones and destinations, they give the illusion of finalities while life is in constant transition until its absolute final destination. Imagination and memories are important factors to keep one in transition with "could've"s and "would've"s. One's magination and memories are not a part of who one is, but they are integral tools for one to use to create some distance between here and there of one's life in transition and the shore of finale destination.

9. One ought to approach life with a positive attitude, choosing to look on things positively is a sufficient choice you make every day to reach a realistic state of happiness.

Stance on ego and identity

1. Ego death refers to the release of self-identification and self-esteem, as well as the need to guard it from harm and the tendency to see the world through the lens of our imagined identities. People who define themselves by e.g. their political inclinations, social standing, skill set, or overall perception of physical attractiveness, often engage with the world as members of these groups and defend these abstractions as they defend themselves. It is a falsehood to associate one's self-entity with these things, as they are external to us and do not require our attachment. Our true selves are the perceptions of our senses, feelings, thoughts, and ability to judge, choose, and have willpower. The real you is the one who experiences, makes decisions and is persuaded of certain things, while everything else is not a fundamental aspect of who you are as a being.

We are entities with thoughts and opinions that we associate with ourselves, these associations of ourselves with our thoughts and opinions creates our identities. These identities may help convey information but are actually external to us. As our existence is just a conscience of physical experience, we should cease creating self-images from these identities that we think of ourselves as in our thoughts. By eliminating outside notions and assumptions about who we believe ourselves to be, we can better understand ourselves and eliminate the false sense of who we think we are in our thoughts. It is only our thoughts that can affect our serenity, but they are also just memories and imagination, yes memories and imagination do hold significance to us living a life with things that happened, are happening, could/would have happened and will happen, but they are in fact just sensory input that we have the control over.

2. To reach the full and true potential of your intellect, you ought to unblock your survival from fear, pleasure from regret, willpower from shame, love from grief, truth from lies, insight from illusion and pure conscience of experience from worldly desires.

Disciplines/Principles/Practices

1. Only virtue is good, only vice is bad, everything else is indifferent. Virtue is sufficient for happiness.

Practice and strive for the 4 stoic virtues: Justice, wisdom, temperance and courage. Avoid the 4 vices: Injustice, foolishness, intemperance and cowardice.

Wisdom means being able to tell what's right and what's wrong without prejudice, approaching everything logically and calmy and understand what is to be chosen or avoided. Justice means to always be fair and do the right thing even when something is wrong. Courage is to do the right thing even if you feel like it can be harmful for you, facing challenges and struggles without complaint, applying wisdom to things we fear. Temperance is the willpower for volontary self-restraint and moderation to things we are attracted to and ought not to be gluttoned.

2. After the first impression, interpretation of reality, and emotional analysis of an event, one should not go for the emotional response, one should instead make a rational analysis and then a rational response.

3. Anger is an emotion that erodes the fabric of who we are. Thus, one ought to learn how to control it, a way to do this is to remember: "It isn't potent (manly) to be enraged. Rather, gentleness and civility are more human, and therefore more potent (manlier)." and that "One's anger is more likely to do more harm than how much someone is wrong".

4. Follow The Three Stoic Disciplines of Desire, Action and Assent

5. Practice mindfulness, meditation and seek nature to find tranquility and clarity.

6. Follow the 5 Buddhist precepts as a form of standard behavior: Don't abuse words, don't abuse senses, don't intoxicate, don't take what is not given and don't kill.

7. Acknowledge, appreciate, respect and value: Nature and life, others' humanity and diversity, community and individuality, learning new things, experiences and change.

8. Practice responsibility and kindness, avoid laziness and cruelty

9. Always remember to be responsible and to mindfully organize these 7 things when one is lost: self, health, environment, relationships, work, interests and experiences.

10. One ought to follow a Nonviolent Communication (NVC) style, also called Giraffe language, to reach the most efficient, optimal and rational conclusion. Explain the situation/problem, explain how it affects, explain what is needed, and give suggestions how to compromise.
