About Classical Yamanese
First draft/attempt at Yamanese language. Vocab inspired by Germanic, Romance and some Mandarin words, with a more slavic sort of twist. I am probably going to change pronunciation, spelling etc. in the future, hence why it’s classical. Probs gonna take a couple of decades to finish but oh well.
