Windermere is a conlang based on similarities between Hebrew and Mon-Khmer languages, such as final stress, minor syllables and overall head-initial syntax. It is also meant to have a mutation system, like both Celtic and Hebrew.
In-universe, Windermere was used as a classical language until it was absorbed and subsumed by Eevo.
Introduction
Windermere was originally created by Praimhín for the Fifth Linguifex Relay. I'm reviving it, as a classical language in Talma replacing Netagin - this version will also be more synthetic than the original creator envisioned.
