'''Castadillaan Pelaxian''' (''pelajiano castadillano'') or '''Castadillaan''' (''castadillano''), formerly '''Delepasian Pelaxian''' (''pelajiano delepasíano'') or '''Delepasian''' (''delepasíano'') until 1996, is the set of {{wp|variety (linguistics)|varieties}} of the [[Pelaxian language]] found in the [[Castadilla|Most Serene Sovereignty of Castadilla]]. It spoken by almost all of the thirty-eight million [[Delepasians]] in Castadilla and is widely spoken amongst the Delepasian diaspora in countries such as [[Confederal Almadaria|Almadaria]], [[Arona]], [[Tierrador]], [[Vallejar]] which currently consists of fourteen million Delepasians. With a population of over 58 million, Castadilla is one of the largest Pelaxian-speaking nations in [[Vallos]] and is one of three nations on the subcontinent to have a standard of Pelaxian as an official language.

Despite mostly having the same {{wp|phonology}} and {{wp|prosody}} as [[Albalitorian Pelaxian]], Castadillaan Pelaxian differs considerably from other varieties of Pelaxian by making great use of {{wp|loanwords}} from the mainland Vallosi standard of the {{wp|Galician language|Isurian language}}. This unique quirk of Castadillaan Pelaxian is mostly the result of the nation distancing itself greatly from Pelaxia after becoming independent in 1852 when the [[Delepasian Kingdom]] collapsed and the final Pelaxian monarch [[Luciano II of Pelaxia|King Luciano II]] referred to the Delepasians as "ungovernable". This distancing also occurred at the same time as the emergence of [[Isurian revivalism]], a series of social and cultural phenomena in the latter half of the 19th Century which renewed interest in the study and culture of the [[Isurians]].

There were attempts to reconcile Castadillaan Pelaxian with the other official varieties of Pelaxian with the most recent attempt being in the late 1920s and early 1930s when the [[Estado Social (Castadilla)|Delepasian Commonwealth]], [[Lucrecia]], and [[Pelaxia]] attempted to form an economic forum between the three nations due to their similar economic and social policies at the time; all three of them being under the rule of highly {{wp|conservatism|conservative}} and {{wp|corporatism|corporatist}} ideologies. The [[Universidade Mauricio Delepas]] had proposed to reverse the Isurianisation that the language underwent over the past eighty years, but these were shelved due to the outbreak of the [[Second Great War]] in 1934 and were ultimately scrapped after the war due to Pelaxia losing interest in the economic forum idea while Lucrecia felt alienated due too Delepasia siding against [[Caphiria]]; both Lucrecia and Pelaxia would dismantle their {{wp|far-right politics|extreme right-wing}} regimes within a decade after the war and all interest in linguistic reconciliation died down as a result.

Due to the size of Castadilla, there exists several regional varieties of Castadillaan Pelaxian which deviate from the standard in terms of vowel pronunciation and speech intonation despite said varieties remaining {{wp|mutual intelligibility|mutually intelligible}} with the standard and with each other.

==Classification==

==History==

==Geographical distribution==
The Castadillaan variety of the [[Pelaxian language]] is the predominant variety of language found in [[Castadilla]] and is one of the nation's three official languages alongside {{wp|Classical Latin}} and [[Brenadine Tainean|Reform Tainean]] as well as one of the official languages of the [[Vallosi Economic Association]] alongside [[Insuo Loa]], [[Emeritan Pelaxian]], and {{wp|Galician language|Isurian}}. This variety also exists in Castadilla's neighbouring nations such as [[Confederal Almadaria|Almadaria]], [[Vallejar]], and [[Arona]] through the [[Delepasians|Delepasian]] diaspora.

The Delepasian diaspora can also be found outside of [[Vallos]] with groups that have retained proficiency in the language being in countries such as [[Pelaxia]], [[Tierradoe]], [[Cartadania]], [[Puertego]], and [[Ceylonia]]. The presence of Castadillaan Pelaxian is much more limited outside of [[Sarpedon]] and [[Crona]] with Delepasians residing in [[Levantia]] having largely assimilated into their new home countries' languages annd cultures.

==Grammar==

==Writing system==
===Pelaxian alphabet===
As a variety of the [[Pelaxian language]], the Latin-based {{wp|Spanish alphabet|Pelaxian alphabet}} was the first alphabet used for Castadillaan Pelaxian. It is virtually indistinguishable from the alphabet used in [[Albalitorian Pelaxian]] with the only key differences being in the letter {{wp|X}} which is not pronounced as {{IPA|/x/}} like in the Albalitorian variety, but rather it is primarily pronounced as {{IPA|/ʃ/}} like in the Vallosi standard of the {{wp|Galician language|Isurian language}}. This originated during the period of [[Isurian revivalism]].

===Delepasian Cyrillic===
Prior to the pelaxianisation policies done by the ''[[Estado Social (Castadilla)|Estado Social]]'' regime, [[Volonia|Volonian]] immigrants used an adaptation of the {{wp|script script|Cyrillic}} script for the Delepasian variety of Pelaxian. Delepasian Cyrillic was a {{wp|Transcription (linguistics)|transcription}} of Delepasian Pelaxian that was in use amongst the Volonian diaspora from the 1870s until the 1930s. It is unique for being one of the few Cyrillic alphabets used for a {{wp|Romance languages|Urlazian language}} alongside {{wp|Romanian Cyrillic alphabet|Volonian Cyrillic}}. Some Cyrillic letters that were not used in Volonian Cyrillic have also found use in Delepasian Cyrillic to represent sounds not commonly found in {{wp|Romanian language|Volonian}} such as the Cyrillic letter {{wp|Lje|Љ}} to represent the Pelaxian letter {{wp|Ll}}.
