Hercynian

Hercynian is a lostlang project by Jörg Rhiemeier that is currently under preparation. Hercynian is a branch of Hesperic closely associated with Alpianic, consisting of a few languages spoken in Germany. It is not determined yet how many languages there will be and in which locations they are spoken.

The name "Hercynian" stems from Ancient Greek geography where it denotes the then heavily forested and inaccessible Central European hill landscape; it is today sometimes used in geography and biology in reference to this region.
