My language damserlandic.

My language damserlandic.

So I have been working on my language called damserlandic for like a few weeks now.Its supposed to be in the Germanic branch and specifically in the west Germanic branch but I wanted to be original and made a sub-branch of west Germanic and made the höffenic sub-branch.It contains some of my other conlangs but yeah.

The language literally sounds hard and almost robotic like German.It has a lot of consonant clusters and stuff and yeah.

Damserlandic sentences are typically svo but in poetry and literature it's sov,and when asking questions it's vso.So this makes the language a bit fluid.

Its number system is fascinating to me because it has all numbers from 1-10 (excluding zero even if there is)and basically how it works is that you add that number with another to make another for example you would make 35 like threefive so it kinda makes it easy and as the digits change the more you have to shift so if you wanted 45 instead of 35 you would just shift the number and stuff so yeah(so it goes from 20-99).Also when talking about the "teen" numbers you add the word for one+the number you want+gein which is basically to make it kinda irregular so for example the word for one on damserlandic is en and the word for two in damserlandic is tov so if I wanted to make 12 I would say entovgein and yes it definitely includes 11 and 12.

But yeah......
