Kupmec Faraneit

Kumpec Faraneit is the dialect of Faraneit spoken in the Kupeameaceih, a desert area north of Lescealh, following the explusion of those that lived in the Heajazareifh when it was conquered by the Harapah. It is highly innovative phonetically and grammatically and is often called a seperate language as such. It clearly has a basis in Northeastern Hameih Lescealh Faraneit (aka Heajaz Faraneit) but is also blatantly independent in many ways.
