Starckdeutsch
Appearance
Starckdeutsch (literally, strong German) is an artificial language designed by Matthias Koeppel. It is well connected to Middle High German (Mittelhochdeutsch). A society is proposed, the Gesellschaft zur Stärkung der Verben to promote the use of strong verbs in German.
The language originated as a pub joke in 1972. Matthias Koeppel started to write poems (published as Sämtliche Gedichte, 1980) in this language, which mostly have funny contents. Different authors from the Frankfurt/Germany based satiric magazine Pardon like Eckhard Henscheid, Carl Lierow, Elsemarie Maletzke, Chlodwig Poth support this new language.
