Ismain is a fictional diachronic language. It was designed by Mark Rosenfelder.
Uniqueness
A sister language of Verdurian, Ismaîn is derived in a regular process (with historically plausible quirks) from Cadhinor, complete with borrowings from Verdurian and Kebreni. Besides a grammar and sample texts, a 1500-word lexicon, with etymologies, is available. Ismaîn is just part of a large subcreation. It's a sister language of Verdurian, derived in a regular process (with historically plausible quirks) from their sister language Cadhinor. I'm most fond of its phonology, and of the vocabulary creation process (inheritances from Cadhinor; borrowings from Verdurian and Kebreni; native coinings).
Language sources
It derives regularly from Cadhinor, but following some patterns that give it a sort of French feel.
Interest of others
It adds to the texture of Almea (Verduria's planet) and its languages...
