That reminds me of a conlang project I started in 1997 but never finished:
Chernorussian (Black Russian). A mix of Russian, Polish, German and French;
maybe it was someting else. It had front rounded vowels and nasal vowels,
and a lot of Germanic and Romance loanwords, more so than Russian. I
remember one verb, _parlat'_ 'to say/speak' instead of _govorit'_.
