Niemish is an [[w:East_Germanic_languages|East Germanic]] language descended from [[w:Gothic_language|Gothic]], the oldest [[w:Germanic_languages|Germanic language]] with a sizeable text corpus. The name (Nimsk) originated from Proto-Slavic ''[[wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/němьcь|*němĭcĭ]]'' an exonym given by speakers of [[w:Slavic_languages|Slavic languages]] to Germanic speakers. Niemish has undergone extensive influence by Slavic languages and is a member of the [[w:Balkan_sprachbund|Balkan sprachbund]], having such features as suffixed definite articles and deriving the future tense from present subjunctive.
