[QUOTE="Ace, post: 3299291, member: 944"] From my world Languages in Midrea fall into two families One is derived from English, mixed with words from many different tongues. The second is the Shan language family, which may be related to Terran Basque. The languages are A: High Anglish – this is similar to modern English and was the common language of the first humans to arrive. It is still spoken as a trade language and as an only language in Frirhom. It is also spoken in the Queens Domain B: Vinyari – this is spoken by the Vinyar and the Gallitep. It is a Shan language family C: Aradian: A mixture of English and Gaelic dialects spoken in Aradia and Ashanan D: Eskane: This is a mix of Shan and High Anglish with a few Rom and Tinker spoken by the tribes of the Eskane. Eskane has three mutually intelligible dialects, one for each of the Eskane tribes. E: Northlandier: This is a mix of English, Finnish and various Scandinavian dialects mixed with some Shan. It is spoken in Neden, Danak, Norras and Barava. Each nation has some drift but the dialects are understandable F: Vi: Vi is a coarse language that’s sounds faintly like old English and is spoken only in the extents of the Vi. It is Shan Family G: Vohi: A quiet Shan language spoken by its namesake peoples H: Stelek: This is the language of the Steel Cities and is a constructed version of English mixed with German and Shan I: Gallandrian: This is the only one of the 20 kingdoms languages that is not based on Shan and Anglish. Its roots are French and Shan instead with some English mixed in J: City Speech: All 9 of the cities by the inland sea use this language which is Shan touched with Italian, and a hint of Spanish,French Portuguese and English K: Hyrkan. This language is not based on Shan or English roots and resembles aborigine dialects mixed with Shan more than anything else L: Hajasa and Kedesh: Niether Hajasa mor Kedesh have a unified language. There are at least 100 known dialects of Hajasnai and probably that many of Kedeshi .The dialects seem to mix Shan, English, Arabic, Farsi, Punjabi, Tagalog and a several other languages into a stew M: Delan. Delan is a mix of English, German and Shan and is related to the Steel Cities language N: Bulshul: Bulshul is related to Russian, and Shan O: Irinar: This is similar to Bulshul and spoken in Irainar P: Techoon: Techoon is related to Sebo Croatian and Shan. It is spoken in Banja Techoon and Vaki Korishni Q: Raleyn and Regana speak a language that mixes French and Anglish with a hint of Aradian R: Other lands In general each of the other country in Midrea speaks its own language. Most of these are related to a mixture Shan dialects with some Anglish loan words. Old High Anglish is spoken everywhere and it is possible to find a speaker in all but the most remote places [/QUOTE]
