An ancient form of Dwendish was spoken alongside Pictish by the ancestors of the Dwends before they were largely driven from Caledonia by the invading Scots. | An ancient form of Dwendish was spoken alongside Pictish by the ancestors of the Dwends before they were largely driven from Caledonia by the invading Scots. | ||
Thurse is the usual term in English for any of the various ethnic groups possessing the European Pygmy phenotype. This phenotype is believed to have originated in the Hercynian forest zone of Central Europe before spreading all over the continent. Their most striking features are short stature | Thurse is the usual term in English for any of the various ethnic groups possessing the European Pygmy phenotype. This phenotype is believed to have originated in the Hercynian forest zone of Central Europe before spreading all over the continent. Their most striking features are short stature, pointed ears and the hiɡhest percentaɡe of red hair to be found in any population. According to genetic testing, the Dwends are believed to be descended from a Thurse population in Scandinavia. | ||
The Thurse speak a variety of languages from a variety of language families, some of which are shared with other Europeans, some of which, such as Dwendish, are not. Dwendish is a language isolate spoken by some 33 million Dwends in Dwendland, as well as by a small Dwendish minority in Scotland. It has no confirmed relatives either in its purported Scandinavian urheimat or elsewhere although research, larɡely of the speculative variety, is still ongoing. It can, however, be most definitely asserted that Dwendish is NOT a relative of Basque, Etruscan, Hunɡarian, Sumerian or Tamil NOR a member of the putative Nostratic or Dene-Caucasian lanɡuaɡe families. | The Thurse speak a variety of languages from a variety of language families, some of which are shared with other Europeans, some of which, such as Dwendish, are not.
