An experiment, taking the Finnish language and making it look more like Welsh.
[[Fingail]] ({{IPA|/ˈfɪŋɡaɪl/}}; [[Fingail]]: ''fingail'' {{IPA|[ˈfiŋgaˌil]}}) is an [[a posteriori]] Finnic altlang spoken in certain rural areas of what corresponds to our Wales and England, especially Cornwall.
::Sample:
:'''sín ragathan, mín ragathad?'''
:''I love you, do you love me?''
 
'''Hîw paev!'''
''Hello!''
 
'''Peithath aeg'''
''long time no see''
 
'''Miden voeth'''
''How are you?''
 
'''Hîw geid, ened sín?'''
''Fine, and you?''
 
'''Hîw gomened!'''
''Good morning!''
 
'''Hîw eled'''
''Good evening!''

===Vowels===
===Vowels===
Vowels retain a long vs short distinction, and are marked either by the use of an acute {{angbr|´}} or by the use of a circumflex {{angbr|^}}. This last one is mostly used to denote certain contexts where the long vowels are a result of a historical contraction of more than one vowel.
