Alvinian

Introduction

Alvinian (Алвини Език, Alvini Ezik) is a Southern Slavic language based on Old Slovene, which has been significantly influenced by Venetan, an Italo-Romance language spoken in North-Eastern Italy, and other Slavic languages, especially Serbian and Russian.

Alvinian has been created in June 2013 by AlbertVen. The idea of developing a constructed language based on Old Slovene came to the author's mind after some research made on Freising Manuscripts, the oldest written documents in Slovene, which show a very interesting stage of development of the language. The Old Slovene base was later contaminated with significant patterns from Venetan, an Italo-Romance spoken in North-Eastern Italy, an area relatively close to the place where Freising Manuscripts where, hypothetically, composed. Another important component of Alvinian lexicon and grammar, has been provided by two modern Slavic languages: Serbian and Russian.
