 ===Rhotian unification===
 {{Main|Dissolution of the Deric States}}
+Between the 1950s and late 1980s, the new five Rhotian-speaking states began a process of domestic nation-building that focused on national, not linguistic, ties - meaning creating a distinct national identity of Allarian, Orclenian, and so on. These processes were largely a failure, but all five nations emphasized their use of the Rhotian language as a distinguishing social characteristic, and in this respect a greater social and scholarly appreciation for the language took root by the 1970s. As greater affinity for the [[Levantine Union]] spread throughout the continent in the post-war years, a new type of social identity emerged - that of "Rhotian-speaking Levantine", with individuals identifying themselves as citizens of the Levantine Union sharing a common language who happened to be part of five distinct countries. This conceptualization was greatly enhanced during the 1980s with the rise of the internet, allowing [[Derian_identity#End_of_Derianism|Rhotian speakers to discover their shared common culture and the differences they have with Lapods]], a process which led the [[Derian identity]] to enter terminal decline. Rhotians began to identify themselves as "Rhotians" by the 1990s, though this still had a cultural rather than nationality-related meaning.
