A Germanic language evolved to sound like Standard Chinese. Brought to East Asia in Antiquity by a Germanic tribe that switched to nomadism, and then did what the Huns did - only in the opposite direction. Over 99% of the words are derived directly from Proto-Germanic. Isolating, analytic, tonal, with heavy use of classifiers. Pinyin is used as main writing convention, though the language is thought to be written in custom script, combining Hanzi keys using first principles (i.e. Germanic phonetic components) to create symbols.

Very cool idea! Looking forward to seeing where this goes ;)
Thanks. I actually have a whole "Riddles in the Dark" chapter of "Hobbit" translated into this language. It took me several months, in which I fleshed out the grammar - so that the one at the beginning doesn't match the one in the end, and the one at the end doesn't match the current :D I will have to import it over here.
Wow, that's awesome! I hope the importing process won't be too tedious.
One can always hope... :D
Ooh your the same owner...
Yeah, that's basically my style
I also found a language called Venaric on this site interesting perhaps Amharic and some Georgian?
Interesting... :)
