Romanian is the main language, although most of our immigrants speak fluent English.
Here are some translations...


Hello - Salut
Goodbye - La revedere
I - eu
you - ti
meal - pâine (literal translation is "bread")

Have a good day, sir. | Sa ai o zi buna, domnule.
Have a good night, sir. | Au o noapte buna, domnule.
Happy holidays! | Sarbatori fericite!


For more, just send me a telegram requesting them.

Tsrillik is the official language. Firg is recognized as language and may be used in the Firgoiłe district alongside Tsrillik.

Tsrillik:
Fte iarl tiardinn! = (interjection) Good morning!

(In Tsrillik, verbs and nouns do not really have a meaning in itself. They have to be preceded by a modifier, indicating its role in the sentence, hence the "Fte" in the beginning, meaning what follows is an interjection. Adjectives don't have to be modified separately, they are regarded as a kind of modifiers themselves. If a noun appears without a modifier it's usually a name. The letter 'ł' is pronounced as an lj combination.)

Our official language is English, although Français, Español and Cymraeg are all widely spoken.
Please note that Mid Lothian is based on fantasy. Any references to anything/one/where that exists is completely coincidential.
Frequently used abbreviations: HoS = Head of State; HoG = Head of Government; ML = Mid Lothian; KSS - Kate Stephens-Smith.
Fancy an embassy in ML? Click me for details. (PS - I'll return the favour.)
I am usually rewriting stuff about Mid Lothian - just because it's true today isn't necessarily true tomorrow.

Warning - Full-time Grammar Nazi at work. You have been warned. (I guess that's due to my mum being an English teacher. Also, don't use masculine words to describe me - my name is Rebecca, which is clearly a feminine name.)

We speak mostly Hyran, which bears similarities to some common languages, and it can be translated quite easily to english through writing. However, pronunciation is quite different.

Some common words/phrases:

Hello:::Lewoh
Goodbye:::Binyed
Thank You:::Outh Palc
How are you?:::Fyos ahl wekla?
I am (not) fine.::: Meih ael (negch) epous.
My name is ___:::Ap eil vaxn ___
I cannot speak Hyran very well.:::Meih sedex negch Hiaroun vior eiplask.
Stop talking to me, I told you I can't speak Hyran you idiot!:::Nech talixen en amie, meih talux wekla Meih sedex negch Hiaroun yean bakimay!

Usually, if you need to use the last phrase, they cannot speak English and will just speak Hyran slowly. Most English-Speaking citizens can also speak Russian and Chinese.

Inuto is the official language, existing in 3 more-or-less mutually-intelligible dialects: Mountain Inuto (spoken in the north), Central Inuto (the main dialect, spoken in most of the country from the southern coasts to the foothills) and Western (or Plains) Inuto.

There are a few other languages spoken by immigrant and minority groups, that are not officially recognised at the national level, but may be at the state level.
