The Pristinian language (As d-Tanᵹa nā h-Uḃınn; German: Pristinische Sprache; Ripuarian: Pristeenische Sprôch) is a constructed language spoken in Pristinia. It is classified as a Celtic language, though it is also influenced by the Ripuarian, German and French languages.
Name
The Pristinian language is referred to as the Tanᵹa nā h-Uḃınn, the "language of the Ubians", or simply Uḃınıge, "Ubian". This is in reference to the Celtic tribe of the Ubians (misidentified as a Germanic tribe by the Romans) who lived in the area today controlled by Pristinia.

Vowels
Please note that all vowels may also represent a schwa, or schwa-like forms of their ordinary selves depending on their position within the word. In vowel digraphs, the use of a grave or accute accent on one or both of the letters may also modify the phoneme, though they are not listed here for reasons of brevity.
