This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
'''Windermere''' is a conlang based on similarities between Hebrew and Mon-Khmer languages, such as final stress, minor syllables and overall head-initial syntax.
 
I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.
 
-->
 
'''Windermere''' is a language inspired primarily by Khmer and Hebrew but also draws from Irish, English, French, Estonian and [[User:IlL]]'s [[Tíogall]].
 
It is notable for its large vowel inventory with many diphthongs, and completely prefixing morphology.
