It is lexically very similar -- the vocabulary building efforts for both languages are largely compatible and re-usable. However Frenkisch uses a different phonology and orthography to Folksprak, so the forms of cognate words are often different. For example Frenkisch '''ryde''' [ˈraɪdə] means the same as Folksprak '''ride''' [ˈriːdə] and both are based on the same sources. But they have different spelling and pronunciation. Also Frenkisch '''ryde''' is a strong/irregular verb (past tense '''reid-'''; past participle '''riden'''), whereas Folksprak '''ride''' is regular (past tense '''ridede'''; past participle '''rided'''). One of the main criteria for designing Folksprak has been simplicity of learning. This is less of a priority for Frenkisch. Consequently Frenkisch has a more complicated grammar and less regular spelling system. | ||
