New Veltorina: Difference between revisions

New Veltorina has a highly diverse linguistic landscape. Approximately 85% of its people - both Veltorine and indigenous - primarily speak [[Veltorine_people#Language|Veltorine Latin]]. However, there are significant differences within the Veltorine Latin linguistic group. About half of speakers speak the so-called Brudxi Dialect, a form of Veltorine Latin which features significant vocabulary introductions from [[Hieratic Varshani]] which is spoken primarily with what was considered to be a rural accent in old Veltorina. This group tends to have Veltorine Latin as a first language. The second group, mostly corresponding to the Feros but also with indigenous Cronans, speak traditional "High" [[Veltorine_people#Language|Veltorine Latin]] as it was taught in schools and universities in Veltorina around the time of the [[First Great War]]. Many of these speakers, however, speak Veltorine Latin as a second language, with most of the ethnic Veltorine Feros speaking [[Julian Ænglish]] as a first language. A minority of this cohort speak [[Caphiric Latin]] as their primary language. The remaining 15% speak a mix of indigenous languages, with 7% speaking Hieratic Varshani, 6% speaking a variety of [[Quetzenkel#Linguistic_Demographics|Quetzen]], and the remaining 3% speaking rare Cronan indigenous languages or foreign languages such as Housatonish or Algosh.
