YN’s English

[Subhurbia]

This is an addition to a couple of other threads involving English dialects.
Pick which choice YN’s citizens use in their English. If YN has multiple different English dialects, pick which one is the most dominant. If they’re is no dominant choice of speech, select more than one option if you want to.

Are there any special distinct characteristics about YN's English?

Not really. Andocarian English is very much like General American English, but with a different, more practical or standard vocabulary, and very slight differences in spelling, grammar, and pronunciation. In addition, Andocarians have a stronger tendency to use "Advanced English" in their everyday speech. For examples:

Instead of "Nice to meet you.", they say "Pleased to meet you."

Instead of "Just a minute", they say "One moment please."

Instead of saying, but/and, they say "however" and "In addition"

Instead of 'also', they say 'moreover'

Instead of saying 'I think', they say 'In my opinion'

Instead of saying "I'm listening", they're more likely to say "I'm all ears"

Instead of saying "I don't know", they're more likely to say "It beats me"

Are there any special distinct characteristics about YN's English? Due to our nation's other official languages being Japanese and Russian, there are many loanwords from those two languages in Gandoorese English that are not used in other variants. (Indeed when it comes to Japanese, there are many examples of wasei-eigo [that is, Japanese-made English] terms that have been adopted into standard English, the aforementioned toire is one example with some other examples including: mansion for an apartment, spats for tights, soft cream for soft-serve ice cream, and CM for television commercial)

Diarcesian English is synonymous to the English spoken in the Hylvorian Dieresis-Kingdom, itself descended from Old English before the Norman Conquest.

-ou- / -o- -o-
-re / -er -er. Examples: center, theater, macaber
-ce / -se -se
-xion / -ction -ction
-ise / -ize / -yse / -yze -ise and -yse
-ogue / -og -og. Such as demagog, monolog, and epilog
-mme / -m -m. This yields to words like programaticaly
-l- / -ll- -l
æ / œ / e Diarcesian English condenses them to e, in contrast to Diarcesian Latin keeping ae, oe, and e. Examples: eon, ecumenical, ether
Provide other examples as wished
Other miscellaneous spellings Diarcesian English words are mostly rooted from Old English and Greek, British and American English words are often considered as loanwords

• errand and presby for embassy
• redgift and proxeny for consulate
• ceser and autocrat for emperor

Xeloncaresian English is very close to British English in terms of spelling, some vocabulary, some pronunciation, and grammar. The Standard Xeloncaresian Dialect is known as Universal Xeloncaresian English, which is widespread across the nation. There are numerous English dialects, but these come from ethnic enclaves formed by immigrant communities. Xeloncaresian English uses basic, common vocabulary used throughout all dialects of English, plus vocabulary words used in both American and British English, such as fuel, and soft drink. Xeloncaresian English vocabulary is for most part very basic and straightforward and the dialect itself lacks color and character, due to the fact that it is meant to unify all enclave dialects in the nation. The pronunciation taught in schools mixes both American and British pronunciation.

Are there any special distinct characteristics about YN's English?
After centuries of isolation following the Great Cataclysm, English in America split into many different dialects that, while mutually intelligible with other English speakers, can barely be called the same language anymore. American Standard, more commonly referred to simply as American, is the most commonly spoken dialect and is often used as a lingua franca along with Latin. American is often called Vulgar English as it's grammatical structure and spelling are, in some aspects, much different than the common form of English spoken in the U.S. prior to the Great Cataclysm. Pre-Cataclysm English, known as Classical English or Old World English, is still taught, but only among the clergy and nobility. While both the clergy and nobility use Latin and not English to communicate, knowledge in Classical English is necessary to study and interpret ancient American holy texts such as the Declaration of Independence or Constitution.

Are there any special distinct characteristics about YN's English?
Not really. We tend to use posh words and extended words to make our sentences sound more interesting and less boring, as we may say. Also, we spell 'color' 'colour'. If ever you have a word that has 'or' somewhere within it, apart from or, it will likely have the letter 'u' after the 'o'.
