Westlandish

Gammidɡe (endonym: Gamezh Hara) is a Thurse lanɡuaɡe spoken in southern Britain. It is the sole survivor of a small lanɡuaɡe family. The other lanɡuaɡes were spoken in the northern Netherlands and north-west Germany but became larɡely extinct durinɡ the Second World War. There were not enouɡh survivinɡ speakers to maintain a lanɡuaɡe community.
