Description

Folkspraak is a conlang being designed as a common Germanic language (an "Intergerman", if you will). Once complete, Folkspraak should be quickly learnable by any native speaker of a Germanic language, a group numbering over 465 million native speakers (with an additional 300 to 900 million speaking English as a second language). After many individual different Folksprak varieties for over a decade, since the end of 2010 there is a kind of Standard Folksprak, members agree about. Until now there are already English to Folksprak and Folksprak to English dictionaries available. Folkspraak is not meant to be designed by any one individual, but is a collective work created by all interested parties, according to the charter guidelines. You can contribute a word to the language just by sending an e-mail listing your proposed word, its meaning and its form in three other Germanic languages (in addition to English). You can provide feedback and help design the language as well. For more information, see Conlang Profiles at Langmaker.com.
