Luthic is based on Gothic, but I also got some inspirations from West Germanic, such as the small Langobardic corpus we have available and the reconstructed Frankish lemmata, Icelandic was also an inspiration for me, as I always enjoyed this idea of a conserved language that retains many archaic characteristics (i.e. Lithuanian, Icelandic, Faroese). My other ideas came from general Romance languages, such as my mother tongues (Italian and Portuguese). | Luthic is based on Gothic, but I also got some inspirations from West Germanic, such as the small Langobardic corpus we have available and the reconstructed Frankish lemmata, Icelandic was also an inspiration for me, as I always enjoyed this idea of a conserved language that retains many archaic characteristics (i.e. Lithuanian, Icelandic, Faroese).

It is not an easy language to be learnt, it has cases, genders, a large phonology, but some of my inspiration also came from [[Avendonian]], who’s pretty much Luthic’s opposite, as it’s way simpler, yet similar, and I had an easy time understanding Avendonian by just speaking Italian fluently and having advanced knowledge in German and English, which may not happen at the same degree to any Luthic learner, unfortunately. | Luthic’s main goal is to look like a real language, I want the reader to look at my article and ponder: “Well, that could be a real language indeed!” Although some of Luthic features are quite unusual, such as the case system, the large consonant inventory, the survival of the aspirate plosives and the passive voice, however I think that it is acceptable, at least according to most of my researches (vide [[Luthic#Bibliography|§ Bibliography]]), but as I said before, I also wanted to create a language with many archaisms, like Icelandic or Lithuanian. My main inspirations for the large phonology were Classical Latin, Gothic and Modern Italian (dialects affected by Gorgia Tuscana mainly). | ||

This conlang is basically finished, it just lacks a bit of vocabulary, and I still want to improve some details on this article, but you can consider it finished. In case you want to request a translation of a short text into Luthic, report a typo (in case you don’t have a Linguifex account to correct it already), send me a suggestion or feedback, feel free to contact me on [https://discord.gg/Q425AeNxtj| Linguifex’s Discord server], I’ll be very glad. | This conlang is basically finished, it just lacks a bit of vocabulary, and I still want to improve some details on this article, but you can consider it finished.
