So I just came across the most amazing thing ever
FINNGLISH-
now, I know that sounds like a fever dream, but it excists.
Basically Finnglish was a language created by le Finnish-American Immigrants from the 1800s (SAIN comfirmation) It is a combination of Finnish and English, and here are some basic words (got this off wikipedia)
today, the language is at the point of death, with only 6,000 Speakers in Midwestern USA. (of course)
