Anathic (Á h-Ænæþ, pronounced [oɑ ˈhanaθ] in Anathic) is an artlang created by Rhian Davies in February 2012. Originally created for purely artistic purposes, a conculture is currently being developed for Anathic speakers. Its grammar is a priori but it has an a posteriori vocabulary with influences from the Celtic and Nordic languages, as well as Old English. It is currently a language isolate, but in time, what is shown here will become known as Old Anathic (Á h-Ænæþ Séyn) and a variety of dialects will be developed.
Anathic is spoken in Hoyer (Á h-Ór in Anathic), a fictional island continent in the Denitian world. It is the native language of approximately 300,000 people.
