Brithenig is an application of the sound changes occuring in Welsh
applied to a Proto-Romance grammar and lexicon.  The language is
analogical, similar to other Romance languages, and, due to the loss of
final vowels, has grammatical gender in its vocabulary that is not
immediately obvious.  The grammar is comparable to other Romance
languages.  The native speakers of Brithenig reputedly live in an
alternative timeline in Western Britain, surplanting Welsh.  In that
context Brithenig participates in a Western post-Industrial global
culture.
