'''Lāgsmān''' is a Germanic language(specifically of the fictional South Germanic family) spoken by the nomadic Lagsmen, who freely roam the area between Varaždin, Graz and Szombathely, colloquially known as the ''Lāgsmānland''<ref>The Lāgsmānland is not a genuine nation-state, but the area is mostly united by ethnicity, culture and language, like Kurdistan. Of course, there are many who wish to see a Lāgsmānland nation-state, similar to Kurdistan, but the nationalistic sentiment is less widespread than Kurdistan. ''Kurdistana Azad!''</ref>. The endonym is a ''portmanteau'' of the Proto-Germanic word ''*hlaupanan'', "to leap"(also the root of German ''laufen'', to walk) and ''man'', from Proto-Germanic ''*manwaz''. | '''Lāgsmān''' is a Germanic language(specifically of the fictional South Germanic family) spoken by the nomadic Lagsmen, who freely roam the area between Varaždin, Graz and Szombathely, colloquially known as the ''Lāgsmānland''<ref>The Lāgsmānland is not a genuine nation-state, but the area is mostly united by ethnicity, culture and language, like Kurdistan.

The Lagsmen are usually quite pro-EU, because of the Schengen Area which, in modern times, allowed them to continue their traditional nomadic life across Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria. | |||

The main idea around this language is just to make a really goofy Germanic language without straying from that root. So in a way, its kind of like a jokelang, but I genuinely plan on fleshing the language out. | The main idea around this language is just to make a really goofy Germanic language without straying from that root.
