Kelekona: Difference between revisions

As an ethnic federation, Kelekona gives the ''suyukuna'' the right to determine their own linguistic policies, though homeland ''suyukuna'' are required to make their official language the primary tongue associated with their home ethnic group. On the federal level, the government recognizes six varieties of the {{wp|Quechua languages|North Songunese family}} of indigenous languages as official. Although previous scholars have originally classified these varieties as simply dialects of the North Songunese language, more recent studies have suggested that those dialects are not as {{wp|mutually intelligible}} as was once thought and thus North Songun has been reclassified as a language family. Kelekona's national language is known as ''T'inkirunaysimi'' ("United people's tongue"), an attempt at standardizing the North Songunite languages that is primarily based on the elements found in the ''suyu'' of Sonqosuyu; although the attempt at standardization was not as big of a success as was hoped, it retains recognition as the country's national language due to its status as an indigenous {{wp|lingua franca}}. An eastern vernacular of the Varshani language and [[Ænglish language|Ænglish]], while not official at the federal level, are still given official status in their respective ''suyukuna''. Linguistic statistics are primarily congruent with the ethnic make-up of the country.
