Rheinwallisch Kreol is a constructed creole language used as a Lingua Franca in the Queendom of Rheinwall. It is constructed in a way that both speakers of German and speakers of English can get the gist of a text at glance.

Phonology

There are 20 consonants and 10 vowels represented via the 26 characters of the Latin alphabet and combinations thereof.

Consonants
	Labial	Coronal	Dorsal/Glottal
Nasal	m	n	ŋ
Plosive	p b	t d	k ɡ
Fricative	f v	ʃ	h
Approximant	w	l	j
Rhotic		r

Grammar

Pronouns

The only type of pronoun in Rheinwallisch Kreol are personal pronouns. Reflexivity is shown using the construction NOM+VP+OBL, so "he sees himself" becomes "e see im", to disambiguate "e see im self" can be used but isn't grammatically necessary. Possession is shown using "X fon OBL" e.g. "de haus fon de men" is "the house of the man".

Personal Pronoun	Nominative	Oblique
1SG	i	mi
2SG	du	di
3SG	e/se/et	im/ir/et
1PL	wi	us
2PL	ju	ji
3PL	de	dem

Articles

Articles in Rheinwallisch Kreol behave very similarly to articles in English, with the indefinite articles being 'a' and 'an', with the same rules applied before vowels or consonants. There is one article "de".

Caption text
Article	Before consonant	Before vowel
Indefinite	a	an
Definite	de

Verbs

Tense

Tense	Implement
Future	schall + VERB
Present
Past	VERB ROOT + te/de

Example text

English:

When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act like a prism and form a rainbow. 
The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors.
These take the shape of a long round arch, with its path high above, and its two ends apparently beyond the horizon.
There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of gold at one end. People look, but no one ever finds it.
When a man looks for something beyond reach, his friends say he is looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Rheinwallisch Kreol:

Wen de sonlicht streik reindrops in de aire, de is de weg fon a prisma ond form a reinbog. 
De reinbog is a division fon weit licht to fiel scheen kolors.
De adopten de form fon a long rund bog, mit de pad fon et heich over, ond de twaa ends fon et scheinbar hind de horizont.
Dar is, nar a legend, a siedend pot fon gold bei een end. Mans serch, doch net a man find et ever.
Wen a men serch for a ding hind reich, de frends fon im sagen e serch for de pot fon gold bei de end fon de reinbog.
