Volonia: Difference between revisions

The official language of Volonia is {{wp|Romanian language|Sarpo-Volonian}}, or Volonian for short, a Romance language with commonalities with [[Cartadanian language|Cartadanian]], {{wp|Galician language|Isurian}}, and [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]], though its closest relative may be Larianic. Unlike most other Romance languages, Sarpo-Volonian has historically had a larger share of foreign influences, with its most significant Romance influences being Larianic and [[Charentais language|Charentais]]. Its other influences come from their Slavic-speaking neighbours to their south such as ancient forms of what is now the [[Suratian language]]. Because of this, it is often argued that there are two forms of the Volonian language: Caphiro-Volonian and Suratio-Volonian. Caphiro-Volonian is the most recognised and the official form of Sarpo-Volonian as a direct result of the Volonian government's pro-[[Caphiria]] stance, making use of a Latin-based alphabet much like its relatives and is the form of the Volonian language that can be found in the northern portion of the country. Suratio-Volonian is lesser-known, found only in the southern portion of the country and amongst those who wish to drift Volonia away from Caphiria, and makes use of the Cyrillic script. As implied, what form of the Volonian language being used depends on both geography and geopolitical viewpoints, that being between the mostly pro-Caphiric northerners and the predominately anti-Caphiric southerners.
