'''Skundavisk''' (sh.: /ʃʊndaβɪʃ/), also known by its anglicized name '''Shoundavish''', is a Germanic constructed language created by Mohamed Kaseb. Designed as a West Germanic language, it has been developed from the Old Saxon dialects spoken in what is now Schleswig and Holstein in the early Middle Ages, and is thus closely related to English, Dutch, Low Saxon, the Frisian languages and (High) German. Shoundavish also underwent a slight North Germanic influence due to contacts with the Nordic countries, which is reflected by the presence of Scandinavian loanwords in its vocabulary, especially from Old Norse and Early Modern Danish. Consequently, despite being a West Germanic language, Shoundavish shares some similarities with Danish, Swedish and Norwegian, especially in phonology and vocabulary.
'''Skundavisk''' is eene germanniske buldtspråke, ðe fan Mohamed Kaseb geskapen was. Hit was als eene westgermanniske språke andworpen, and was fråm ðe åldsaksisken munþærde andwikkeld, ðe in ðet frøwe Middelålder gesproken weren in hwat nou Sleswijk and Holtsat is. Hit is þus þightlijk forwandt mid engelisk, neðerlandisk, neðersaksisk, ðe frisisken språker and (hoogh) dietsk. Skundavisk underging ook een light northgermannisk inflyt fanwege getykke mid ðe norþisken lænde, hwelk ður ðe wesigheed skaðenejisker lånwørde in hits wordskatt sig forstypt, besunders fråm åldnorþisk and frøw nywdanisk. Ofwell hit eene westgermanniske språke is, deelt Skundavisk gefolgwijse some gelijknisse mid danisk, swedisk and norsk, besunders in loudkunde and wordskatt.


Shoundavish didn't take part in the High German consonant shift, and is overall one of the most conservative Germanic languages regarding the consonants. Because of its preservation of the sounds /θ/, /ð/ and /w/, along with a large common vocabulary, Shoundavish is one of the closest languages to English. However, both languages underwent very different vowel shifts over time, which makes them sound quite different. Besides, while English borrowed many words from the Romance languages (especially French), the Shoundavish vocabulary remained mostly Germanic, and very few words were borrowed from non-Germanic sources. Therefore, words like "biology" or "litterature" are built using Germanic roots instead of Latin or Greek ones. While being very conservative in its phonology and lexicon, Shoundavish didn't preserve the complex grammar of Proto-Germanic, and the medieval case system has been reduced to scattered remnants in the modern language.
Skundavisk nam in ðe hooghdietske midklingerforskeuving neet deel, and is algemeen eene ðer meesten bewarenden germannisken språker, hwat midklingers bedript. Fanwege hitser bewaring ðer louds /θ/, /ð/ and /w/, so well als eenes wijdes gemeensames wordskatts, is skundavisk eene ðer næksten språker to engelisk. Jeðough undergingen ðe båþen språker seer forskeene stevenigforskeuvingen ður ðe tijde, hwelk hir tæmlijk forskeeden klingen makt. Meerover, hwijlend engelisk manige wørde fråm ðe romisken språker (besunders frensk) borgde, is ðe skundaviske wordskatt meestlijk germannisk beliven, and weenige wørde weren fråm neet-germanniske orsprynge geborgd. Ðarfore beun wørde als "biology" oðe "litterature" ður germanniske røte insted af leðisken or grekisken gebuldt. Hwijlend hit in hitse loudkunde and wordskatt seer bewarend is, kopte skundavisk ðe midforwovene språkerkynst af orgermannisk, and ðe middelålderige fallsamenstand is to geskaterde leever in ðe nywlijke språke geskrunken wesen.
