Riemannic (''piþakorzarlinsprek'', lit. maths-music-speak) is a semi-naturalistic a posteriori artlang created by [[User:H. H. P. M. P. Cole|Cole]] in 2024. It is his first conlang, and despite the fact that it is a work in progress, he moved on from it, thinking it is a bad conlang. The conlang's English name derives from the mathematician Bernhard Riemann and the music theorist Hugo Riemann.

The capital of the Riemannosphere in Cole's old worldbuild Cardan is Utlens City (''utlænsσtat''), the flag of which is shown in the infobox.
The largest Riemannic-speaking city in Cole's old worldbuild Cardan is Utlens City (''utlænsσtat'') in the Etal States, the flag of which is shown in the infobox.
 
(Conlanger's note: clearly I didn't know much about Finnish when I made this. Not to mention those noun cases. I will soon figure out a way to better incorporate Germano-Finnic grammar in the next iteration of Riemannic... if I ever make one. Clearly the in-universe "creators" of Utlensi Riemannic learned Finnish from a dictionary without a grammar guide.)

Here is a message I made up in response to a certain discovery by a Discord user 'DroneBetter':
The Samurai Jack opening sequence in Riemannic:


On 9/11/2024, twenty-three years after the famous attacks, a certain drone discovered something too big to be captured on even the most advanced cameras, and even if it is captured it possesses a tubelike architecture, so compactifying it would be near-impossible. It is the world's longest mealworm, the larva of Tenebrio molitor dronebetteris. Spanning many tens of metres long, breaking its exoskeleton will cause it to explode.

Nonliteral translation:
