Germanisk

General information
Germanisk is a Dachsprache for the Germanic languages, namely based on Dutch, English, German, Norwegian and Swedish. Its goal is both to be understandable for anyone with a bit of implication in those languages and to be as simple, regular and effective as possible.

To understand it easier, native speakers of one of the languages above only need to check the conversion rules between their language and Germanisk. As example, speakers of the German Hochdeutsch will understand the form ofriúndigheit as the conversion of unfreundlichkeit following the rules from German to Germanisk:

un- becomes o-, lich/ich becomes ig, keit becomes heit.

But a Dutch speaker will also understand ofriúndigheit as the conversion of onvriendelijkheid by applying the rules from Dutch to Germanisk:

on- becomes o-, v becomes f, ijk becomes ig, heid becomes heit.

(And so on for English, Swedish and Norwegian with their respective rules).

The purpose of this being to help the understanding of common Germanish by providing easily applicable rules based on common similarities. A list of conversion rules per language is listed below.

Útsprák
The tonic accent normally falls on the first syllab, except for words with prefixes (as "for-" or "út-") and international words (as "banán" or "compúter", where the accent indicates the accentuated vowel).
