Language Name Veltish Language Author Marshall Wildey Year Began 2002 Site Veltish Broken Link No Site Language English Site Author Marshall Wildey Language Type NA Uniqueness Veltish is a constructed language I devised that is based on English and was inspired by German and Afrikaans. It actually started out as a contracted or slurred form of English someone might speak when extremely tired, but over several months of revision in structure, grammar, and vocabulary, it has developed a more Germanic feel to it. It has existed since the spring of 2002. Veltish, or Veÿtischlange (or Veÿtischpihk), has numerous features that resemble English, since that's what it's based on. Most of the similarities are in the vocabulary, as most words are simply contracted transliterations of English words (i.e. "book" becomes bük, "good" becomes güt, "contract" becomes kontlekk, "I will be" becomes av'ÿb). "W" in English becomes "v" in Veltish ("what" becomes vhod), "h" is done away with as an aspirant, "or" is contracted to ö ("for" becomes fö), and so on. Grammar as far as word order remains basically the same, but changes in construction of plurals and verbs have changed slightly. Veltish spelling is as difficult, annoying, and meaningless as English, if not more so. A feature in Veltish reminiscent of German is the use of the double s (or s-zed) as a letter. A feature reminiscent of Afrikaans is the use (or overuse in the Veltish case) of double vowels. There is a new sound in Veltish derived from the letter "l." In English (esp. American English), people don't often properly articulate the "l" in many words, as in "world," "gold," and "filled." This becomes a new sound on its own in Veltish, letter "ÿ", which is distinct from the "l" sound and is found quite frequently in the language. "Y" is otherwise always a consonant. Veltish is spoken by one person in the United States. The Veltish language gets its name from a transliteration of its creator's name, Marshall Wildey.
