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
Compound words
CD-caifa CD-disc
Apeljuus Applejuice
Hamburgerbrout Hamburger bun/bread
Video speil Video game
Ful moon Full moon
Loan words
Sushi suci
Internet
Wi-Fi
Motto moto
Niche niic
Countries & languages
The word creation for country/region and language names should be done through adapting the most standard and prominent endonymic name phonologically for the country/region or language to Germian phonology and orthography e.g. Sverige /svɛrjɛ/ (Sweden) ⇄ Sverje.
Words that are added to indicate specifics like "North" America, "South" America and names alike are supposed to be translated to the Gemian equivalent and then added to the country/region or language name accordingly e.g. Nord Amerika and Saud Amerika.
