Fresian (Language)

From Sourcebook Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

The language of Fresia, "Fresian" is actually a group of some thirty-odd closely related languages spoken by the people of Fresia. Some speculate that the lack of a single language is what keeps the nations from uniting under a strong central government, while others speculate that it is the other way around.

Speakers of any of the variants of Fresian can generally understand each other, although communication can sometimes be difficult, especially if the ideas involved are complex. People who grow up in Fresia generally know at least one or two variants in addition to the language of their region, and Ubrekti serves to fill in the gaps when people of different linguistic backgrounds have serious communication needs.

Below are some of the more common Fresian variants.

Dulisian

Dulisian is the primary variant spoken in the southeastern region of Fresia known as Treulan and parts of the mid-eastern duchy known as Greenslip. Due to its regional relevance, this is the most common Fresian variant spoken by educated neighbors in western Hakan.
