Niemish is an East Germanic language descended from Gothic, the oldest Germanic language with a sizeable text corpus. The name (Nimsk) originated from Proto-Slavic *němĭcĭ an exonym given by speakers of Slavic languages to Germanic speakers. Niemish has undergone extensive influence by Slavic languages and is a member of the Balkan sprachbund, having such features as suffixed definite articles and deriving the future tense from present subjunctive. There is also considerable influence by languages such as Turkish, Hungarian, Greek, Latin and Romance languages.
