About Femsha
Femsha is an artistic language that began in mid-2013. Its orthography is based off of the Latin alphabet as used by Romanian with an alternate Cyrillic alphabet based off of Kazakh existing as well. The grammar was inspired by Arabic, Turkish, and Russian. The vocabulary is primarily a priori with some loans from Arabic, Persian, and Polish.
Femsha is spoken by the Altari people, who are culturally similar to Turks. They inhabit the country of Altar. The name 'Femsha' is derived from the words fem (/fem/) and șa (/ʃ/), meaning Femmic (in reference to the people group) and language, respectively. The language is named as such because it is a member of the Femmic branch of languages, spoken almost exclusively by the Altari people.
