English is the de facto official language, but there is no law stating an official language. It is quite possible to get by here on Streetspeak alone, an easily learned creole consisting entirely of shouted obscenities from a diverse collection of languages.

English speakers of the world, unite!
I'm a Christian, and that means a lot of things, but to sum it up, it means I believe in God despite having not seen Him personally with my own eyes.

Atheists are offended by God, and make every effort to oppress His followers and to suppress mention of His name, despite the fact that they claim to not believe He even exists.

Who's irrational, again?

There is no 'official' language in Moral Libertarians, for the simple reason that there is no state to declare one. However, English is by far the most commonly used tongue. Many citizens do speak additional languages; these are largely Western European ones such as German, French and Spanish.

Postby Valdea » Wed Sep 14, 2011 1:35 pm

All government proceedings are conducted in Valdean (the national language - sort of a blend of English, Czech, and Turkish). About half of the population (64%, to be exact) uses this same language with slight variations, such as the complete lack of case markers and a tendency to omit or shorten vowels. The alveolar lateral approximant becomes a voiced alveolar lateral fricative.

The rest of the population uses Valdean Creole, which is 99% mutually intelligible with Basic.

Valdean is written with the Cyrillic alphabet. The following is the First Article of the Valdean Constitution, a transliteration, and a literal translation.

Констит Валдей - 1-а Артик

Ал Фолку, наа Валдеайи лифлай, риту жилуа, фрелуа, я жилишматуа авлай. Саме, риту налынлуа авлай.

Al Folku, naa Valdeaji liflaj, ritu zhilua, frelua, ja zhilishmatua avlaj. Same, ritu nalynlua avlaj.

All people-nom., what Valdea-loc. live-3rd.plur, right-nom. life-gen., freedom-gen., and [the necessities of life]-gen. have-3rd.plur. Also, right-nom. privacy-gen. have-3rd.plur.

All People who reside in Valdea have the right to life, freedom, and the necessities of life*. Also, they have the right to privacy.**

*'The necessities of life' is a purely Valdean concept, which is essentially the annual quota of food, water, electricity, shelter, clothing, etc. that is given to each person according to their needs by the Valdean government, for free.

**This is set apart because spoken Valdean has something known as an emphasis stop. This is a phenomenon in which, rather than raising one's voice, one waits for up to three seconds with a hand raised before making a particularly emphatical statement. Written Valdean does not distinguish between this and the full stop ( the '.' symbol).

Euskirribakondarian Official Languages

Postby Euskirribakondara » Wed Sep 14, 2011 2:24 pm

Since the establishment of the new Kingdom of Euskirribakondara (July 28, 2011), a new Constitution governs its territory. In this Constitution there is an article that says:

Every language that is natively spoken by more than 1% of the Euskirribakondarian population shall be made official in its region. Therefore, it shall be used by the Monarchy throughout ALL the territory in its documents and papers. Nevertheless, the languages that shall be: always and everywhere in the vast territory of Euskirribakondara, are Euskal and Aranes, due to its large number of speakers and its quality of lingua franca.


The Constitution also recognizes the wide language diversity of Euskirribakondara and protects it. The OFFICIAL languages of this nation are:

* Euskal Related to the Basque. It's the most spoken language in Euskirribakondara, and it is written with a variation of the Latin alphabet; that is always read the same way. It has a simple 5-vocal system.
* Aranes A romance language, it is highly related to Catalan, Portuguese, Spanish and French. It has a quite complex ortography, but can be spoken very fast.
* Armenian The official language of all Armenians. It has its own alphabet (RL language)
* Sirbadian Slavic language spoken in the west of Euskirribakondara. It is written on a variation of the Cyrillic alphabet.
* Euskal Arabic It is the same RL arabic writting system, but it is read differently.
* Lillamut A Scandinavian language that is related to Norwegian and Swedish. It is written with the Latin alphabet.

Here's an example... here is the official name of the nation in all the official languages:
Euskirribakondararen Harrikía (Euskal)
Regnu d'Euskirribakondara (Aranes)
Թագավորություն Հուսկիռիբակոնդարա/T'agavorut'yun Uskirribakondara (Armenian)
Кралевина Оскирибакондара/Kralyevina Oskiribakondara (Sirbadian)
المملكة كيريباكوندارا/Al-Mamlakat Kiribakunadara (Euskal Arabic)
Köninget Öskirribakondar (Lillamut)


The Kingdom of Euskirribakondara recognizes as "Provincial" languages those spoken by more than a 0,5% of the national population:
Belikovian (Related to Russian), French, Portuguese and Spanish

And the Kingdom also recognizes "LLD" (Languages of Little Diffusion). This are the spoken cultural expression of a determinated ethnic group:
Rom, Eundarian, Euskal Germannic, and 12 tribal languages

Pottslandians have a tongue known as "Native Pottslandian", a rather interesting language that sounds much unlike any other language. The languages believed to be anywhere close to Pottslandian range from Germanic to Vietnamese. This is owning to the fact that Pottslandians separated themselves from the rest of the world unwittingly 10,000 years ago and only during the advent of long, sustained ocean travel did they meet up with anyone else.

However (as I posted in my factbook), Pottslandians are ever curious, especially about other cultures and languages. Spanish is often spoken here as Central and South Americans with the right means often opt to go to Pottslande, and Gaelic is frequently spoken as a few Irish sailors chose Pottslande as their place of respite instead. As a result of both the Pottslandian cultural awareness and a high migration rate into Pottslande, a sort of informal motto has sprung up, "if you've stepped on our soil, we'll learn how to discuss philosophy with your grandmother!"
