Zhendic
Zhendic (Lenƣa Ƣendⱶca /leŋŋɐ ʒɛːntkɐ/) is the most grammatically conservative Romance language in the Unbegotten timeline. It is characterized by
- preservation of Latin declension, including the distinction between nominative and oblique stems
- some weird Armenian-inspired sound changes, for example:
- duō > erƣu /ɛrgu/ '2'
(Inspired in part by Wenedyk, might change name)
