So, no High German language *there*, right? That's probably a good
decision. Shortly after I started Wenedyk, I contemplated the
possibility of Wenedyk and Polish coexisting in the same coniverse,
but discarded that as highly unlikely. In other words, if you replace
High German with whatever your language is called entirely, you can
steal from it as much as you wish!
That also solves frees the name "Teutonic" for the rest of the
Germanic languages, there not being a language called "Deutsch". Low
Saxon, in my opinion, is not German.

Most definitely!
