[Sidhae]

In 27th century, English is still widely spoken by humans, though it's lingua franca status has been lost somewhat to Mandarin Chinese.

Although most Sidhae have no real use of learning foreign languages, being fluent in at least two foreign languages is seen as a sign of an educated man, so many will study English among other languages. Sidh soldiers and especially officers are also required to take lessons in English in order to be able to converse with human prisoners of war, most of whom know this language, although translation machines are also available for this purpose.

English-speaking Sidhae speak an archaic 21st century form of Queen's English, seeing it as the last uncorrupted version of the language. Their speech may sound somewhat exotic and outlandish to a contemporary human Anglophone for this reason (compare to a 21st century person speaking Shakespearean English).
