Folkspraak (also Folksprák and Folksprak; from folk 'people' and spraak 'language', which means "the language of the people") is an unfinished zonal constructed language. It uses words from Germanic languages to make it easy for anyone who speaks those languages to understand it. It works a lot like a lingua franca for people who speak Germanic languages.
