Conworldish is the lingua franca of the Kingdom of Conworldia, and is a creole based off the West Germanic language English, incorporating elements from various other languages including Romance and East Asian languages.

Conworldish is an analytic nominative-accusative language, utilizing minimal inflection. Word order is strictly subject-initial, verb-medial, and object-final. It is a subject-prominent and a head-initial language, with the topic and complement typically placed towards the end of the sentence. It uses a three-pitch prosodic tone system, with each tone displaying certain meanings.
