The different dialects of the Oceana language are fairly young, as is the language itself. We know that two different dialects (Besnutralni and Ueshenna) must have developed in Hurbanova before the 50's, which developed out of the single Slovak creole being spoken in all of Oceana and its adjacent areas. Somewhere around this time, the Muzans may have settled near Train Village. The current Oceana language developed from the Ueshenna dialect; the Besnutralni dialect was only spoken in Hurbanova and developed into Hurbanovan English (which explains the low percentage of Oceana speaking people in Hurbanova compared to other places in Oceana).

abstract	The different dialects of the Oceana language are fairly young, as is the language itself. We know that two different dialects (Besnutralni and Ueshenna) must have developed in Hurbanova before the 50's, which developed out of the single Slovak creole being spoken in all of Oceana and its adjacent areas. Somewhere around this time, the Muzans may have settled near Train Village. The current Oceana language developed from the Ueshenna dialect; the Besnutralni dialect was only spoken in Hurbanova and developed into Hurbanovan English (which explains the low percentage of Oceana speaking people in Hurbanova compared to other places in Oceana). We know from poems and "interoceana jokes" that there was already some sort of distinction between the dental dialects and the non-dental dialects before the 50's. Hurbanovans were called Spaniards by the Easthillers because of their dental pronunciation of t's and d's (at that time still pronounced as [θʰ] and [ðʰ] in Hurbanova). Apart from that, each hamlet already had its own vocabulary because of different immigrant groups. Amateur linguist Peter Lee's research points out that there were four dialects at the time which were still all mutually intelligible: The very dental Calava dialect is spoken in Hurbanova and its surroundings; in Skullen they speak a dialect comparable to the Eastern Hills dialect, one of the few differences is that the inhabitants of Eastern Hills are unable to pronounce words correctly because of their Slovak ancestors' speech interference. Last of all, there is a dialect spoken in an unofficial hamlet across the border. This dialect is the most divergent but the deviation is not as great that it cannot be understood by the people from the other villages.
