About Combine German
Combine German (also referred to as Colloquial German, Kombindeusch or simply Combine) is a language that aims to unify and expand on all of the Germanic languages, and related language families that would have significant effect. The initial scope and planned features below:
- Grammatical features from German, English and Swedish
- Orthography resembling German, maybe Icelandic if I'm feeling adventurous down the line
- Simplification of specific grammar that is synonymous with Germanic languages to allow for easy learning (genders?)
- Vocabulary that borrows from all Germanic languages, including less widely-spoken languages such as Icelandic or Flemish
- Loan-words from neighbouring and related language families that would have a logical impact on a unified German (Polish? French? Finnish? Russian?)
