Germian ('''Germic''' IPA: '''/germiʃ/''') is a conlang created by Jeppesper beginning in 2022, ''germ'' stands for it being based of off Germanic languages. It could be thought of as a conditioned language since it is constructed to be regular, simple, recognizable and to lack grammatical gender and gender differentiation of nouns/pronouns. The conlang is mainly based on English, German, Dutch and Swedish, but it has to smaller extends also been influenced by Afrikaans, Danish, Norwegian, Yiddish, West-frisian, Luxembourgish and Icelandic.

'''Fragments 31''' — Sapfo — Anne Carson

en lahen fryktlyt, das inderde

end unmidelyt renen ain subtiil fiier over jaikse skind,

graipen jaik overal, jaik sain bleeker

dan greis, end jaik saims neerlyt

That man seems to me to be equal to the gods

who is sitting opposite you

and laughing delightfully, which indeed

for when I look at you even for a short time,

but it is as if my tongue is broken

I cannot see anything with my eyes,

seizes me all over, I am paler

to have died.
