General information
Alpanlandic is a south Germanic language which is spoken in the Alps for thousands of years untouched by other languages where it remained archaic and went through strange sound shifts due to its isolation its grammar also shifted to including dynamic and stative verbs as well as fluid-s case. It remained untouched by other languages until French speaking missionaries in the 14th centruey converted the Alpanlanders to Christianity and so the borrowed religious words from Latin and French and they also traded with basques and Germans meaning that business words are primarily from basque and German. Alpies (as they are known colloquially) tend to be herders and pastoralists as well as fur trappers.
The dialects are north Aplandic spoken in Germany and Switzerland which is influenced the most by modern German and Swiss German
west Aplandic spoken in Switzerland and France and is the main dialect its loan words come from French, rumanash and Swiss German, for unknown reasons there some caucasian influences (chechen and circassian mainly) also the grammar is more agglunative
central aplandic is the most archaic dialect and its speakers are very isolated
here is its relationship with other Germanic languages, including English, Dutch,Icelandic, German and gothic through numbers
