Vellicosian (Ƿendisch [wɛndɪʃ] or Ƿendisch tung [wɛndɪʃ tʊŋ]), also called Wendish, is a Germanic language of the Norto-Euronian language family. It is spoken primarily in Vellicosia and serves as the native language of the Wends.
The traditional 30-letter Vellicosian alphabet has seven additions (á, ð, í, ó, ú, ƿ, þ) to the basic 26-letter Latin alphabet, two of which (ƿ, þ) come from runic, while removing three (q, w, x). These two letters are not used in Vellicosian, instead replaced by the closest approximate letter or sound combination available, even in foreign loan words. The traditional set is comprised of 20 consonants and 10 vowels. Vellicosian is a member of the Germanic group of the Norto-Euronian language family. It is most-closely related to English, its sister language with whom its phonetics are nigh-identical and words and concepts highly-comparable; and is also closely-related to Beatavician, Besmenian, Birnirian, Drambenburgian, Denzali, and Vœyetskan. Vellicosian is an extremely linguistically-purist language, regulated heavily by the Royal Vellicosian Language Council (KǷS) and favoring native Vellicosian and Germanic roots, letters, words, and phrases. It creates new words for concepts and ideas not present in Old Vellicosian by forming compound words, reviving archaic words, and creating new words from Germanic and Old Vellicosian roots. It is the only language on Iearth to employ the use of the runic ƿ and one of the few to employ the use of þ, also from runic.
