Mikkelsundian language

The Mikkelsundian language or Mikkelsundian (Mikkelsundikken taal, Mikkelsundikke (IPA: /mɪkəlsʉndikn taːl/ ) is the aposterial constructed language between Slavic and German language families in Indo-European language group . In the process of construction of this language there are a lot of influences from English, German, Czech, French, Dutch and Old Lower Saxon language.

Writing System

As the writing system are used two scripts: Eldgewritt, the old Mikkelsundian script, legendary invented during the rule of Saagmar the Great in the 17th century and Nyuuwgewritt - modern romanisation of Mikkelsundian language, first used in 19th century and finally adapted in 20th century. These two writing systems are nowadays at the same level, because it is controversial think around Mikkelsundians, that is best to have own script or romanize it.

Modern Mikkelsundian script (Mostly used)

includes the part from the story Mostly used in Mikkelsund is Nyuuwgewritt, the romanisation of Mikkelsundian language. It was created by the second generation of mikkelsundian national revival, known as the sahnsgeneration (generation of sons) - Markus Reege, Waegmar Rittlyybid Reippe, Marlene Lyybendag or Gyydlyyb Gyyde. This direction of mikkelsundian national literature has been adopted in 80s-90s of 19th century, Previous generation, known as nyyuwsaagmarids or vettersgeneration (generation of fathers) used primarily old mikkelsundian script.

Mikkelsundian Nyyuwgewritt was codificated in the treatise Det nyyuwmikkelsundikken alphabet by G.Gyyde in 1885, but in this time has Eldgewritt more supporters. It was first fully utilized by Reege during his work on the restructuralisation of mikkelsundian vocabulary. In 1920 the Nyyuwgewritt was equated with old script, but until the end of the Second World War was in minority.

Mikkelsundian latin alphabet has 34 letters in her maijuscule version, 33 in minuscule version, including 7 wovels. Interesting is, that the letter Q was not adopted until 2005, but still it is used mostly in foreign words.

By 2005 was the inscriptions in the Nyyuwgewritt written as second,now it is written primarily.

Old Mikkelsundian script

This ancient variant of mikkelsundian stript is called Eldgewritt or Saagmarine. It was invented since 1618 by consilium for new script, estabilished by Saagmar the Great from the representatives of scholars from jews, mikkelsundians and monks of the Unity of the Brethren. Jews agreed changing for equation and bussiness rights, Brethren changing for agreement of missionary activity. This consilium had to invent the independent writing system for mikkelsund, wich could be written by pour mikkelsundians, not only by monks and nobles. By 1656 this script was banned by Niederhappens, who introduced only German as the language used for writing. During Nyyuwsaagmarid revolution it was proudly rehabilitated and used by mikkelsundian laandbedegrijdvaelersbedegijd mostly until 1949.

Until 2005 each sign had to be accompanied with translation into the old font. Today, it is true only for the most important documents and papers. It is one of the symbols of Mikkelsund.

Vocabulary

Really, Mikkelsundian is an aposterial modern-constructed language (history is mostly fictious). Primarily, in the connection with fictious story it was mostly influenced by German languages, but if the Mikkelsundians may live around Czech people, the czech language has his own place at the influence to the Mikkelsundian language. During the modernisation of the language a lot of words, that were constructed a random, were removed and replaced by the words, that better seems like created by evolution of normal language. (Freedom : Udiger→Frijg|mitt (in political sense svoboda), Frijg|gebenmieg (in general sense volnost) (compare Free|dom, Vrij|heid, Frei|heit) A lot of evolving Mikkelsundian vocabulary were and are also incorporated badly- it also need to be removed (Black: Blanke (from fr.) → Naare (compare Noire). The sense of this reforms is that the Mikkelsundian may be once the language of the nation, that it need to seem euphonical, real and better to use and to learn.

Genesis of the words

• Czech influence: acceptance of the foreign words (Litva and Latvia → Lithuania and Latvia), sense of the morphemes, influence to the vocabulary and many others. The czech culture and topics are also a resource for the Mikkelsundian culture.

→Fȏrre /fɤɽɛ/ subst. → víra (truth)
→Vaelen /ѵæl'n/ verb. → velet (leading)

• Influence of the German Language : Because the Mikkelsundian belongs to the family of german languages, the grammar is also taken from the German, Dutch or English. Even throug the attempts for it exactly through the German or other similar languages, the mikkelsundian grammar is still not codificated. In 19. and early 20. century the mikkelsundian writers (Markus Reege, Valery Enthaegen) took the english and german as a resource.
