'''Hanebrugish''' (<small>Hanebrugish:&nbsp;</small> ''Hanebrugish''; <span class="nowrap" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" style="font-family:Gentium,'DejaVu Sans','Segoe UI',sans-serif">/ˈhanəbryɡiʃ/</span>), also spelled '''Hanebruggish''', is a [[w:Germanic languages|Germanic]] conlang originally developed for Hanebrug, a city founded by a small band of friends (who all happened to be linguistics nerds) on a [[w:Minecraft|Minecraft]] Realm in September 2023. Its lack of [[w:Umlaut (linguistics)|umlaut]] and [[w:Rhotacism|rhotacism]] and its other similarities to [[w:Gothic language|East Germanic]] make it characteristically simple and conservative compared to other Germanic languages that are spoken today.
