| Quququqquq is the lingua franca of modern Angai.

| == The Quququqquq-speaking world ==
| |
| === Quqqaäa ===
| |
| The official name of the country is ''Quqqaäau Uqaqaüquaqquq'' (Republic of the Commons). It is an eco-fascist country controlling most of the natively Kawenic-speaking area. It is allied with Furnifoo against Āínkiīaánịạkàì theocracies.

|
| |
| === Aqqaüqüququq (Philopolis) ===
| |
| Aqqaüqüququq, also called Philopolis in English, is a liberal democracy unlike Quqqaäa. It controls Hokkaido.
| |
|
| |
| To the rest of Angai, Aqqaüqüququq is regarded as very ethically progressive and a role model for society.
| |
|
| |
| It plays a pivotal role in Timeline 3 (by rejecting capitalism in addition to religious fundamentalism and totalitarianism).
| |
|
| |
| === Alliance ===
| |
| Political refugees from Quqqaäa settled in the San Francisco Bay Area; they started a university and startup hub there, which eventually grew into Angai's Silicon Valley. Eventually "California" joined the Alliance and Quququqquq was made an official language of the Alliance.

| === Differences between Quqqaäan, Philopolitan, and Alliance Quququqquq ===
| |
| Modern-day spoken Quqqaän Quququqquq can totally ditch the second person singular and use the plural for the new singular, and the plural with -uqqaqq for the actual plural (c.f. "y'all" and "all y'all")
| |
|
| |
| so, i'm thinking that Quqqaäans may not even get into poetry that doesn't serve the ecofascist purpose so the 2nd person singular form is completely obsolete, and the -uqqaqq suffix carries political connotations of communality
| |
|
| |
| but the people of Aqqaüqüququq really love their art, and they kept the T-V distinction in their dialect, so there are even spontaneous movements to generalize the old 2nd person singular to all formality levels like the Quakers
| |
|
| |
| the association of the 2nd person singular with art rather than disrespect makes people want to prop it up
| |
|
| |
| The pragmatics of the plural verb suffix ''-uqqaqq'' in Philopolitan Quququqquq are:
| |
| * inclusive when used with 1st person
| |
| * plural (rather than respectful) when used with 2nd person
| |
| * distanced/obviative/"the crowd" when used with 3rd person
| |
|
| |
| the Alliance dialect of Quququqquq is closer to Quqqaäan Quququqquq but without some of the Quqqaäan pragmatics (-uqqaqq follows the Philopolitan standard)
