Cernelian (Cernelian: stómiesiewę czel, stómiesieko, IPA: /stumʲjɛˈɕɛvɛ t͡ʂɛl/) is a fictional divergent Finnic alternative language (altlang) spoken in the fictional country Cernelia (Stómiesie), which actually made by an Indonesian named Danisht Dzakwan (User:DanishtD). It develops from southern Proto-Finnic under influence of sound changes that affected Polish, a Slavic languages, including some early internal Finnic changes, that make it so divergent from other natural languages like Finnish and Estonian. Therefore, Cernelian uses Polish orthography.

Cernelia is mostly located in our world's Belarus, except it excluded Gomel region, and the country took southern parts of Pskov Oblast, Russia. The native name stómiesieko comes from the country name Stómiesie, deriving from earlier Mstómiesie, ultimately from Proto-Finnic *musta meccä "the black forest". The English name, is from Latin Cernaelis, borrowed from Proto-Slavic *černъjь lěsъ (cf. Polish Czarnylaska), in turn a calque from Proto-Finnic.
