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.
