About Proto-Jostish
Proto-Jostish is a Germanic A Posteriori conlang derived from Proto-Germanic. Proto-Jostish comes from its own hypothetical branch of PGmc called Proto-Northeast Germanic (PNWGmc).
What is notable about the Jostic Languages is that Proto-Jostic is a Proto-Germanic and Proto-Finnic (PFin) creole, with the vocabulary primarily derived from PGmc and the grammar being PGmc with extreme Finnic influences.
