'''Chathan''' (''tcatamsck'') is a Germanic-based conlang. It is an ''a posteriori'' zonal and auxiliary language.

On the surface, Chathan seems to be somewhere between Dutch/Afrikaans and German, but there are also influences from English, Old English, North Germanic, and Proto-Germanic. The grammar combines Modern English-like analytics with simplified West Germanic-based inflections.

Chathan's vocabulary had originally been made largely from words and cognates of modern Germanic tongues, made to fit Chathan phonetics and phonology. Chathan's phonetics and phonologic patterns have influences from Dutch, German, English, and North Germanic tongues.

Chathan began to be linked more greatly to Proto-Germanic with reforms in 2017, by making sure that at least most words have a Proto-Germanic ancestor. Some of these Germanic/Theedish words, like "rekntawg" (computer) and "fragbar" (questionable), are also examples of uniquely Chathan calques and compounds that are still composed of shared cognates.

Certain Romance/Latin and Greek-based words are acceptable if natural Germanic tongues have cognates of those words. Pairs of Germanic and non-Germanic equivalents can exist as well, such as with month names. There can also be specialized and regional words like "katana" from Japanese, "tcungl" (jungle) from Sanskrit, and "safari" from Swahili and Arabic.

On the surface, Chathan seems to be somewhere between Dutch/Afrikaans and German, but there are also influences from English, Old English, North Germanic, and Proto-Germanic. The grammar combines Modern English-like analytics with simplified West Germanic-based inflections.

Compared to most Germanic natlings, Chathan's grammar is somewhat simplified, though not as much as Afrikaans. Being Germanic-based, it has similarities to English, especially in its syntax. Its phonology is influenced by Dutch and German, though its phonetics are relatively accessible to Anglophones.

Chathan's vocabulary comes entirely from Germanic natlangs. Words are mostly rooted in Dutch/Afrikaans and German, though there are also North Germanic words from Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Icelandic. The vast majority of vocabulary is ultimately of Germanic origin, though there are also some words of Latinate origin.

'''Chathan''' (''tcatamsck'') is an ''a posteriori'' auxilary conlang based on Germanic languages. It is mostly West Germanic in nature, with some North Germanic influences as well.

Compared to most Germanic natlings, Chathan's grammar is somewhat simplified, though not as much as Afrikaans. Being Germanic-based, it has similarities to English, especially in its syntax. Its phonology is influenced by Dutch and German, though its phonetics are relatively accessible to Anglophones.
