abstract
  • The Bredish language (Bredish: Brediẍ Tal or Bredisgch Tal) is a language spoken in Clymene and areas of Seven. Bredish is a Germanic language, related to English. It is heavily influenced by Dutch, and to a lesser extent Chinese, German and Gaelic. Bredish has an official status in Lovia, but is only spoken in Clymene and parts of Seven. Its use is wide-spread in the state. It is spoken in Sofasi, Plains and most of the residential parts of Adoha. The language originated in the 19th century, when Chinese guest workers came to Clymene and mixed with the predominantly English-speaking population. A creole of English and Chinese came into existence. This form of communication was consolidated in Clymenish everyday life and became the lingua franca of the state. The state became a ethnic melting pot after the arrival of Dutch and German immigrants. A mix of German, Dutch and English dialects was spoken by these new colonists. Over the course of the years these languages integrated and borrowed from each other, becoming a distinct way of communication used only by inhabitants of Lovia. This sociolect was fueled by the Chinese presence in Clymene. This new linguistic layer covered the old Chinese-English creole, and became the accepted language of the state. Over time, a new language was born. Bredish has influenced the Clymenish dialect of Lovian English a lot. Words like "mór" are used by non-Bredish inhabitants of Clymene too, and a lot of Bredish loan words have entered the Clymenish dialects. A distinctive Dutch-sounding accent is used by English-speaking inhabitants of Plains.
