Velaherian language

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Velaherian language is arguably the closest language to the Anglish language, having virtually the same grammar and really close phonology. Vocabulary wise and world-formation wise, Velaherian is almost exclusively Alemannisch, with little to no Fragran influence, unlike Anglish.
