Jovlish (Jóvleş, Jóvleş [ˈʒoːvlɛʃ]) is an Anglic Germanic language whose speakers mainly reside in the Pontus region (Jovlish: Troψ, Trops [tɾɔps]) in the Republic of Türkiye. It is descended from the Old English spoken by the Anglo-Saxon refugees fleeing from the Norman invasion of England to the Black Sea, thus making it related to other Anglic languages such as English and Scots, and to other Anglo-Frisian languages such as the Frisian languages.

Classification

Jovlish is an Indo-European language that belongs to the Anglo-Frisian branch of the West Germanic languages, which in-turn is also a branch of the Germanic languages. It is specifically an Anglic language descending from the West Saxon dialect of Old English.
