Lowlandic

Lowlandic is an a posteriori conlang developed for the fictional nation of Lowlandia! Lowlandic is an West Germanic (specifically an Anglic) language, meaning that most of the features will be instantly recognisable to an English speaker. It is however, much more conservative, so a few differences can also be seen between itself and English.

Totally Original Features:

 * A very Germanic vocabluary, much of which is noticable for English as most of the common English words are Germanic, but much is also words that no longer are productive in English.
 * A 4-case system with: Nominative, Accusative, Dative, and Genitive. These cases are reflected by articles, pronouns, and also a few so-called "weak nouns".
 * A spelling system that looks much like the English spelling (at least for the Germanic words in English), but is much more reflective of the actual pronunciation. All those e's at the end of words aren't silent!
 * 3 genders: Masculine, Feminine, and Neuter; this is determined through the ending of the word, and articles decline to it. Like other languages containing it, you will have to memorise it for each word.

Classification and Dialects
Lowlandic is, like English, Frisian, and Low Saxon, an ingvaeonic, West Germanic language. The language of these three that it shares the most phonetic and lexical similarity is English, however, the grammar is much more conservative, much like old English or even Old Low Saxon.

Nouns
Nouns decline to four cases: Nominative, Accusative, Dative, and Genitive, with most of the declension happening in the articles.

Verbs
There are two classes of verbs; strong and weak. There are also a few irregular verbs.

Syntax
Lowlandic is officially V2, meaning that unlike English, the subject is not required to be in the first position of the sentence.

Verb positioning in sentences is also a bit more complicated than English. Wheras the finite verb always goes into the second position like explained above, the rest of the verbs are pushed to the end, like German. They however preserve the original English ordering of the verbs. (Sorry if this is confusing, see example two for an example of how the verbs stack)
