What language does your country speak?

Postby Kongarohau » Sun Nov 02, 2014 6:46 pm

As in, what are your official languages.

In my country we have English and Kongarun

Eg

English:
Kongarohau, officially the Dominion of Kongarohau (abbreviated: DoK), is southern, midsized country in Eladen. It's highest point is Mount Johnson, which has an elevation of 6438 meters (21122 feet). The Dominion of Kongarohau had a population of 10,438,928 in the last governmental census. The capital of Kongarohau is Kongaru (pop. 3,290,432) and is located in the bowels of the country.

Kongarun:

Es el punton mas alton es el Monte Kon, que tiengeh unal altural deh 6,438 metros (21,122 feet). El Domingion de Kongarohau tenial unal poblakion deh 10,438,928 en el ultimon kenson guberngamental.

The original founders spoke Norse, but then due to the isolation this evolved into its own thick dialect or own language, which is referred to as Nekronian. Then German influence caused Nekronian to die out and be replaced by that, and then during the 20th century the language changed to English. Most of the old-timers have German as a first language and English as a second, and the newer generations have English as their first language and may or may not bother to learn German.
The Templar High Council wrote:The number of times Nek makes sense is grossly outnumbered by the times he doesn't.
IC Info: TL;DR verson of Nekronia: Authoritarian government with elements of the USSR and national socialism. Everyone works for the government, and buys from the government, obsoleting taxes as the money does not leave the country, save for government buying of items of foreign nations. Military is advanced but unconventional, focusing on infantry and psychological warfare. Primary method of national income is export of armaments and other war-related items.

Transoxthraxian, which is a non-Indoeuropean language, which seems to be a lingual isolate, though there have been some historians and linguists who have proposed a link to the Caucasian languages. Other than that, Spanish, Catalan, Occitan, and French are recognized in the nation.
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Both Xarcanian and a little Latin are used in official government documents, speeches, etc.
Practically none of the commoners speak Latin, and mostly Xarcanian is spoke. However, some English and Arabic is used as well. :ugeek:

The majority of the population speak English. In fact, all over the country, road signs and other important stuff are either in the English language or have a translation underneath.

However, in the southeast of the country, in the tract (which is basically like a district or a region) of Nuevo Paraíso, Spanish is mainly spoken. Spanish was also mainly spoken in Valledorado but, due to the closing down of the mines and citizens moving away, it has been overtaken by English as the most commonly spoken language in the tract.

On Rosetta Island (where English is also spoken) and the Elephant Isles (Bruirn, Kruhl and New Sark; although Bruirn is the only inhabited island out of the three), a language called Iyilim - pronounced "ee-yeel-eem" - is spoken, mostly by the natives (who are also called Iyilim). The word "iyilim", meaning "islanders", originally came from the words "iyil" and "lim", which mean "island" and "land" respectively. There are a few Iyilim on the mainland as well.
