Kashpatria is an independent kingdom which was until April 1 217 a part of Jilnovia. It is home to the Kashpatrians, the indigenous people of the region, with their own language and culture. Kashpatrian, an Ethwynic language, is by tradition written with Cyrillic script, of which the Kashpatrians are very proud. Jilnovian authorities have generally used Jilnovian orthography when transcribing Kashpatrian names, and also used Jilnovian versions of place-names. After Kashpatria's independence the Kashpatrian names will be promoted, locally as well as internationally.
