The Sebric language (Sebriaç, pronounced [seːbʁiaʃ] ( listen)) is a North-Thuadian Germanic language mainly spoken in New Sebronia and its neighbors, being an official language in New Sebronia, as well as in the Sekidean Union and a regional recognized language in the neighboring countries of Qazhshava and Tiskaiya. Being in the Batro-Laakyan language group, it shares similarities with Bakyernian and the other surrounding germanic languages and is the successor of the almost extinct Traditional Sebric.
