'''Ceuja''', <!--or the '''Ceutch language''',-->(<!--also known as ''Thutch''; -->'''Léban Ceuja''' and '''Ceuja''' in Ceuja itself) is a Germanic language best characterised as Proto-Germanic with Spanish sound changes (via relevant Western Romance and Iberian sound changes) applied. | '''Ceuja''', <!--or the '''Ceutch language''',-->(<!--also known as ''Thutch''; -->'''Léban Ceuja''' and '''Ceuja''' in Ceuja itself) is a Germanic language best characterised as Proto-Germanic with Spanish sound changes (via relevant Western Romance and Iberian sound changes) applied. | ||

The name ''Ceuja'' comes from Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz, and is thus cognate to ''Deutsch'', the endonym of the [[w:German_language | German language]]. It is sometimes also called Goja, Godano, or Gozano, from PIE *gutiskaz, *gutô, and ''Gothia'', referencing the Goths. The association of Ceuja with the Goths does not necessarily refer to actual historical Goths so much as the medieval label given to Germanic peoples in general - compare to the terms "Teutonic" and "Dutch". | The name ''Ceuja'' comes from Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz, and is thus cognate to ''Deutsch'', the endonym of the [[w:German_language | German language]].

Around June 2013, a Germanic conlang with a naïve interpretation of French sound changes applied to it was sketched up and called ''Jaillais'' (located currently on [https://sites.google.com/site/lairezjaillais/ Google Sites]). Later on, resources on [[w:Phonological_history_of_French | the Phonological history of French]], [[w:History_of_the_Spanish_language | the History of the Spanish language]] and [[w:History_of_Romanian | the History of Romanian]] (amongst many others) were encountered, highlighting some of the deficiencies of Jaillais. | Around June 2013, a Germanic conlang with a naïve interpretation of French sound changes applied to it was sketched up and called ''Jaillais'' (located currently on [https://sites.google.com/site/lairezjaillais/ Google Sites]).

The phonology of Ceuja is not unlike that of a somewhat artificial and sanitised form of European Spanish. For more context, see [[w:Spanish_phonology | Spanish phonology on Wikipedia]]. | The phonology of Ceuja is not unlike that of a somewhat artificial and sanitised form of European Spanish.

This trend against debuccalisation can be seen in the treatment of fricatives before plosives, with many modern Spanish dialects debuccalising these fricatives to a breathy sound, something not as common in Ceuja (but still acceptable). | This trend against debuccalisation can be seen in the treatment of fricatives before plosives, with many modern Spanish dialects debuccalising these fricatives to a breathy sound, something not as common in Ceuja (but still acceptable). | ||

The main difference in orthography with Spanish is the use of ⟨y⟩ to represent tonic /i/. For example, ⟨týe⟩ instead of *⟨tíe⟩, but ⟨cieba⟩ instead of *⟨cyeba⟩. | The main difference in orthography with Spanish is the use of ⟨y⟩ to represent tonic /i/.
