It's only real resemblance to Germanic is the existance of umlaut.
BTW, I second Christian's motion: I'd LOVE to see more of this language!
Some details vowels: unumlauted: a,e,i,o,u,ia,ua //ia,ua from stressed short e,o in VL i-umlauted: ae,e,i,oe,ue,ie,uei (phonetically approx. e,e,i,2,y,je,He) u-umlauted: ao,eu,y,o,u,yo,uo (phonetically approx. 0,2,y,0,u,H0,w0) a-umlauted: a,e,ei,o,ou,ia,ua (phonetically approx. a,e,e,0,0,ja,wa) consonants: b,c,ch,cz,d,f,g,gh,g',h,(j),(k),l,lh,m,n,nh,p,ph,qu,r,rh,s,(sz),t,th,v,(w),x,z ch,gh=/k/,/g/ before i,e,y cz,g' =/tS/ or/ts/,/dZ/ ph =/f/,th = /t/ qu = /kw/rh = /Z/ in some dialects, in others closer to Spanish <rr>, in still others to Czech r-hachekand in others /r_j/
lh = /l_j/,/j/, or however you write <ll> from Castiilan in CXS some use sz for /S/ others write it <scz> -Wayne Chevrier _________________________________________________________________Take advantage of powerful junk e-mail filters built on patented Microsoft� SmartScreen Technology. http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=http://hotmail.com/enca&HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines Start enjoying all the benefits of MSN� Premium right now and get the first two months FREE*.
