[Axeshi]

Axeshi speaks the Axeshine language throughout the country, though using local dialects of the language casually. The Standard Dialect of Axeshine is the dialect spoken in the capital.

Writing Axeshine involves the use of an abugida-syllabary hybrid writing system (not finished). A vowel and optionally an initial consonant are represented by a base symbol, whilst diacritics are used to: add an extra consonant to the beginning (before the consonant in the base symbol), add an extra vowel (after the vowel in the base symbol), and add a consonant to the end of the syllable.

Axeshine is a WIP constructed language.

[East Angria]

The language of commerce and communication on the national level is the East Angrian Standard of Low German (Stanaart-zesiʃ). It's a real-world language, based mostly on the North Low Saxon and Eastphalian dialects of Low German. But it is engineered and officially regulated for use in all relevant fields. It includes gender-neutral pronouns, scientific, political and medical terms, a bunch of abbreviations and a standard phonology.

Various Low Franconian, West Central German, Low German and Frisian dialects are spoken across the country. These are all West Germanic languages and largely mutually intellegible. Then there is Jutlandic Danish in the north, which is a North Germanic language. Dozens of minority languages are being spoken across the country, which have been brought there by immigrants from all over the world.
Minority languages and local dialects have a high degree of prestige and are widely used in everyday life. These dialects are completely unregulated and natural. Their development depends on the speakers and the use of the language alone.

East Angria has no orthography, but an official script. It's a stripped-down version of the International Phonetic Alphabet, which accounts for all phonemes across the territory's languages. The "correct spelling" of the national language is derived from the regulated phonology.

No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.
