Standard language is based on the Criadoch (''Krírdox'' /kɹɪəˈdɔx/) dialect. Genetic studies have shown that the Cubrites are descendants of Celtic speakers who adopted a Canaanite language. The language preserves quite a few quasi-Biblical words and phrases, but its grammar was completely restructured to use auxiliaries instead of the older prefix and suffix conjugations. | ||
