Camonic is a conlang by Jörg Rhiemeier. It is a Continental Celtic language surviving in the Alps (vicinity of Chamonix, France). The language is one of Jörg's diachronic experiments. It is a reply on Arvorec; while Arvorec, which though purporting to be a Continental Celtic language shows the hallmarks of an Insular one, Camonic is designed not to resemble an Insular Celtic language, thus there are no initial mutation, no VSO word order, etc.
