Wimnish is an Irfikian language spoken in Wimna.

The language is spoken by approximately 28,000,000 people as a first language (about 15,500,000 of that as an only language), and a further 3.2 million as a second language. The language is written in the Wimnish script, a strange square-filled alphasyllabic alphabet with 24 letters; 5 vowels and 19 consonants.

The language is written in the SVO order and had 8 cases, they are: equative, dative, delative, ergative, accusative, adverbial, evitative and exessive. Below is a sample text, written and glossed, that uses all the cases so that you can see them in action.
