Nederlenderski

Classification and Dialects

Nederlenderski (named after the Netherlands) is a Slavinized Germanic language spoken in the low countries.

Slavic tribes migrate much farther west in the 1000s and are a major power in Western Europe in the middle ages. Dutch (Or Netherlendisk) is heavily slavinized (like Romanian is in our timeline) Nederlenderski has Germanic roots but has about 60 to 70% Slavic loanwords (mostly Western Slavic). The Slavs settled in Germany and France and the Netherlands was made a puppet state for a long time until Nederlend rebelled in 1651. Now Nederlend is a independent country and is highly involved in trade and commerce.
