Kemr exists in an alternative history where one of the differences is
that Vulgar Latin was successful in surviving in Britain that it became a
national language rather than Welsh.  Details of Kemrese history differ
from ours where having an independant kingdom in western Britain effects
British and European history, which I continue to investigate.  I'm
interested in speculating in what conlanguage groups the Kemrese may have
encountered.
