About Runjish
Runjish is a Germanic language spoken by the population of Runjia, a country between Germany and Poland. It is vaguely Scandinavian in appearance, though it is more closely related to modern German. Its grammar is simplified compared to other Germanic languages and, as in English, grammatical gender has been lost.
