Welcome to the "Setup Guide" for my conlang; Sëmä!
Note: this is not a dictionary, rather just an introduction to this conlang's grammar and way of working.
Sëmä (/sɤmæ/) is just a hobby of mine that as of writing this i've been working on for 2 months. It's supposed to be an agglutinative Finnic language based off Finnish and Estonian, I mostly made this language because I have an interest in learning Finnish. I've been working on this language in a messy file on my pc that contradicts itself because i'm too lazy to update it and makes no sense to anyone else but myself so here is a more polished introduction to it. I'd like to clarify I'm not a linguist and this is just a hobby of mine, it's not supposed to be jawdropping in anything.
