Hey, Kelly. I see you have "Terran Anglic" listed, which I'm guessing is a more pure mix of Terran languages without the Vilani influence that shows up in Galanglic and its dialects. I think on Worlds that were colonized by the Terran Confederation before the Rule of Man, there might be remnants of other "future Terran" languages without the Vilani influence. Besides Anglic, I'd expect Spanglish (from Central and South America, with some Portuguese influence from Brazil); either Mandarin or Cantonese (which is more dominant now? Is one more "official" than the other?); Hindi; Nordic; Deutsche; Franca (official language of the EU in future years? Combines French, Spanish, Italian, and Romanian.). I would kinda think something Slavic and a couple of African languages, but from what I hear, globalization is turning them all into English speakers!
ReplyDeleteTerran Anglic was the more original form of Galanglic that the Imperium uses.
DeleteHonesty, I think part of this was from someone else. I keep thinking I picked it up somewhere. I know I made the dialects up. If this is someone else's work, please leave a note so I can give you credit.
