'''Shtarmoni''' is an unnatural language created by an Azeri immigrant to the United States named Anidn Menoscwicz. This language's creation began in 1998, under the name ''Obersmaez''; such having no real grammar and a < 10 word lexicon. Additions and rules of grammar were added constantly and in 2001 the name was changed to ''Shtarmoni'', late Obersmaez for "of language". This was not the end of the evolution of the Shtarmoni language. Even in 2001, the lexicon thereof was quite small, and it seemed as if the language was forgotten about. As of August 2006, there are very distinct rules for words, grammar, and a lexicon of < 1000 words. A lexicon in progress may be found [[Lexicon|here]].
