Kermanic (German enough that a German and a Jebslunder can each get the gist of what the other is trying to say, though there are some false friends of the translator in each with regards to the other.). Citizens are encouraged, but not required, to be multilingual.
Jebslund is a nation of kerbals ruled by Emperor Jebediah Kerman. We reject tyranny, believing that rights should be protected, though we also believe said rights end where the rights of others begin.
Shockingly, we *do* use NS stats, with the exception of lifespan.
Singular sapient: Jebslunder
Plural Sapient: Jebslunden
Singular/Plural nonsapient: Kermanic
Note: When a verb can logically only be done by the sapient using/piloting/holding the object in question, then the appropriate demonym for the number of sapients is used.

Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism are ECONOMIC SYSTEMS. Stop conflating them with political systems.

  • Modern Hylian: "Do you speak Hylian?"
  • Traditional Hylian: "Hairago wa dekimasu ka?"
  • Akkalese: "Haereulgukmal hal jul ani?"
  • Gerudo: "Hayraca biliyor musun?"

The main language of Revanist Military Republic is called the all-tongue language. It is a combination of english, russian, german, and other past languages. While others may see it difficult, locals can use their own language in day-to-day talk. In fact, government employees on that particular region use the local's tongue in addition to it's official language. The employees will take a training course to speak the local language, or if it's in urgent, they can be placed into a nerve machine.

Hatterlese Creole
Example: Hea, coul'dyu grab mi ea kola?
Hatterlese Creole is a language very similar to english, but a bit different. Back when Hatterleigh had multiple different countries in it, a language had to be decided upon as a lingua franca. English eventually evolved into the choice, but as english speakers were outnumbered by other colonists from Berussia and also colonists from other old-world nations just trying to get a quick grab of land on what was seen as obsolete compared to new lands that were discovered to the west of Hatterleigh, so of course the language ended up sounding more Berussian than English, but over the years it slowly molded back into an english-esque language, as it was far more convenient for trading if the language was easier to learn, which brings us to...
English
Hey, could you get me a soda?
English is known by almost everybody in Hatterleigh, as it's rather easy to learn when Hatterlese Creole is virtually just english with a few elements of Berussian and a few scattered words from what would become french, dutch, nordic, and more. Hatterlese english is influenced both by western and Hatterlese accents, so it almost sounds what we'd consider north american or canadian with a bit of a twist on a few sounds

The national language of Scotatrova, is, well, Scotatrovian

It's a weird mix of the Romance languages, primarily Spanish, Portuguese and French, with some minor borrowings from languages like Arabic and Hebrew. Its ancestor would be a variant of Latin, with centuries of influence from Arabic and Hebrew esque languages (hence their influence) on top of the adoption of loan words form languages native to the Americas, Africa and Asia, and some neighboring languages in the same family.

Example Phrases and Sentences:
Bénu Matheç - Good Morning
Comon te gemás? - What's your name?
Greixas - Thank you
Axte teír ei nuosra teír, axte teír ei vuosra teír - This land is our land, this land is your land.
Íl llavor dele nuiv ai cinqüe - He worked from nine to five
Le queuov Scotatrafine tié sez xiusos megalis: damigues, incimes, lifas, deales, addeales, ía clochares - The Scotatrovian grammar consists of the six parts of speech: pronouns, nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and prepositions


An example of a sentence with heavy Romance language influence would be:
Le rexe ei murtoe. Tude saluthí le rexe - The king is dead. All hail the king

An example of Arabic influence would be the Scotatrovian word for flower, "zireha", based on the Arabic word for flower, zahra

English as it's the most widespread and therefore the best to do business with. However languages get massive investment in schools and corporate training programs so most citizens know two or three. Anyone who wants to ascend to the top tiers of the hierarchy though, generally needs five or more.
