'''Wenedyk''' is a naturalistic [[constructed language]], created by the Dutch translator [[Jan van Steenbergen]] (who also co-created the international auxiliary language [[Interslavic language|Interslavic]]). It is used in the fictional ''Republic of the Two Crowns'' (based on the ''[[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth|Republic of Two Nations]]''), in the [[alternate history (fiction)|alternate timeline]] of [[Ill Bethisad]]. Officially, Wenedyk is a descendant of [[Vulgar Latin]] with a strong [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] admixture, based on the premise that the [[Roman Empire]] incorporated the ancestors of the [[Poles]] in their territory. Less officially, it tries to show what [[Polish language|Polish]] would have looked like if it had been a [[Romance languages|Romance]] instead of a [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] language. On the Internet, it is well-recognized as an example of the [[altlang]] genre, much like [[Brithenig]] and Breathanach. | '''Wenedyk''' is a naturalistic [[constructed language]], created by the Dutch translator [[Jan van Steenbergen]] (who also co-created the international auxiliary language [[Interslavic language|Interslavic]]).
