Germish (Deuschisch)

Germish (Deuschisch) is a Germanic conlang. It originated as a joke name for 'German' and grew from a few words to a complete language. It is agglutinative, having many suffixes which stack up on verb forms, for example in skreipelpsten, 3rd Pl. form of the 'must' form of skreip, to write.

Most words are of Germanic origin, some being completely Germish native.

Setting
Germish is a project that sprouted from a joke name for German. It started as a very small idea, but grew to having a proper grammar and everything.

Germish takes words from Germanic and Original Germish parts. Latin and Greek terms are sometimes imported for scientific purposes.

Phonology
Germish's phonology is much like that of the Germanic languages, particularly German.

Vowels
Vowels are pronounced just like in German.

Basic Grammar
Nouns

Germish declines nouns according to four cases and two numbers. This is the table for 'Fesch', a fish.

Verbs

Germish conjugates verbs according to tense (including some functions normally taken by auxiliaries, like 'must')and person. Verbs are represented as a three-tense simple table or six-tense larger table.

All verbs are regular except for 'sien' (to be), which is conjugated below. ^as in 'I will have been'

~as in 'I was going to be'

But for a regular verb, uniform endings apply, being added on to the end of the infinitive form:

vutte (to make) The parts in bold are the normalendings for regular verrbs. If the verb infinitve does not end in a vowel, an -e- is placed before the suffix is added.

Conversation
These are basic formations in Germish for everyday conversation.
