Wendlandish started as [[User:Lili21|my]] first "serious" attempt at an a posteriori conlang. I wanted to do a language radically different from other ones in its family, so I decided for this (somewhat unrealistic, I admit) setting: a Romance language spoken in what in the real world is Pomerania (roughly between Schwerin and Gdańsk, up to 50-60 km inland from the coast), with lots of Old Norse, Slavic, Baltic, and Polish influences, totally cut off for ages from other Romance-speaking peoples, and in the end becoming in the 20th century a part of the Soviet Union, something that further characterizes the language. | Wendlandish started as [[User:Lili21|my]] first "serious" attempt at an a posteriori conlang.

Even if it started out seriously, it later became the closest thing to a jokelang I've done. I actually like Wendlandish and still work on it once in a while, but I tend to add things more because I like them rather than because they would make sense conhistorically. | '''NOTE:''' Even if it started out seriously, it later became the closest thing to a jokelang I've done.
