Chathan (tcatamsck) is an a posteriori auxilary conlang based on Germanic languages. It is mostly West Germanic in nature, with some North Germanic influences as well.
Compared to most Germanic natlings, Chathan's grammar is somewhat simplified, though it is more complex than Afrikaans. Being Germanic-based, it has similarities to English, especially in its syntax. Its phonology is influenced by Dutch and German, though its phonetics are relatively accessible to Anglophones.
