Wait how's it similar to Latin? *total linguistics amateur*
I'm actually making a language somewhat like that. Mermish essentially have "underwater" and "overwater" - when the mermaids are communicating underwater, the language is different than when it's overwater or talking to non-mermaids who don't have the physiological capacity to make the sufficient sounds for underwater Mermish.
