It is a segmented language in its origins. It draws heavily on, Gaelic for its land-based, lower class, corporeal words, and then heavily on a uniquely [[wiki/Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] form of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulgar_Latin Vulgar Latin] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek Istroyan], for words that are maritime, learned, or abstract in nature. This linguistic pattern follows a very real and still common divide in [[wiki/Culture_in_Burgundie#Social_stratification|Burgoignesc culture]], between Burgundie real and Burgundie juridique. The formalization of a single Burgoignesc language did not occur until the 1880s.

It is notable for missing some letters from other common Levantine languages like K, Y, Z, J, and W, because the Latin alphabet brought by the [[wiki/Bergendii|Bergendii]] predates tribal written languages it would work through those missing sounds with diphthongs and consonant clusters. The letter U is a newer letter, dating to the 1100s as its unique appellation was forced with the differentiation of the &quot;V&quot; as a separate sound. In the 1810s there was a movement to adopt the common standard Latin alphabet, but the various dialects in [[wiki/Burgundie|Burgundie]] never picked up on the usages of the newer letters, so the movement failed. Being the &quot;first&quot; official language of [[wiki/Burgundie|Burgundie]], all [[wiki/Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] students are taught to speak and write in Burgoignesc.
