yes and no... even if my main focus is to portrait modern Hangkerimce, I felt I need a way to derive it from older sources, mainly when Castillian and English words are borrowed at different intervals (as well as Semtalika, Moscha [ancient, middle and modern], and several other languages). Most of the bases of Hangkerimce is the language of the Hembica people, which is pronounced (in modern Hangkerim) as /hEmbiCA/ or /?EmbiCA/... I'm not sure were it is stressed. Proto-Hembica is the posible language ancestors of the Hembica people spoke. -- Carlos Th
