About Norþic
Origins of Nyrþik
It is an interlang for all countries that have Germanic Languages. It's main focus is to be used in the sciences. Well, that's what I thought when I first made it. In reality, there's no real benefit for the adoption of such a language, especially with such a large sound inventory. Thus, this is much more of a passion project!
So, please think of this as a personal lang now!
Features
-Phonemic Orthography
-Only 2 real tenses
-SVO order
-Shortened spellings of Germanic words, but they still maintain the roots and sounds of their brother and sister words. (words in other languages)
