About Old Novinian Say hello to the ancestor of  Grisian...

Old Novinian!


It sounds like a Slavlang, but there are more similarities between Old Novinian and English. In fact, the conlang was derived from an English cypher. As you venture into the depths of Old Novinian, be prepared for:

- Consonant clusters!
- Fluctuating accents and umlauts! (the Novinian vowel system was much debated over and only a small minority of the language was written, so oral tradition means some spellings are unconfirmed)
- This weird letter Jj which has a disputed pronunciation!

Btw, Old Novinian has already progressed far, but I've been too lazy to transfer more of it to CWS...
