Mief'je

Mief'je (MIEF-JAE) was a proposed language intended as an alternative linguistic system within the Kingdom of Shadyvinkenstein. Originally conceived as a potential Shadyvinkensteiner language, it ultimately remained unrealized due to the inherent complexity of its pronunciation and the extensive use of apostrophes. Regrettably, a substantial portion of its vocabulary and scripts has been lost to time, with only a handful of surviving words, such as "ant" (mief'je, from which the language derives its name) and "Erdum" (Earth, specifically referring to Shadyvinkenstein rather than the planet as a whole). Mief'je exhibits a close linguistic affinity with Vroopan, though their connection is minimal or nonexistent.

The language is primarily transcribed using the Dutch alphabet, although an alternative writing system, now lost, once existed. The inscriptions, comprising approximately six words, raise uncertainties about whether they represent a unified language or a disparate collection of linguistic elements.

A contemporary movement advocating for the revival of Mief'je, known as Neomiefism, seeks to resurrect the language and promote its usage once more.
