'''Modern | '''Modern Windermere''' is based on the vernacular of Imperial Windermere, and did not change significantly since, except the introduction of more loans. After the Grouidite Revolution, Windermere and Tergetian lost much of its importance in Talma, but they retained a strong presence in Bjeheond. | ||

Spoken | Spoken Windermere is pretty much the same in all three continents, except for accent and a few vocabulary differences. | ||
Wen Dămea | The Wen Dămea language is heavily diglossic: the literature and newscasts use a language much closer to Classical [[Windermere]]. [If this were Netagin I'd also include "the upper classes use the normative vocalization". Can Windermere do sth like this - little grammar and morphological rules that ppl can break all the time, and not big grammar differences?] Written Windermere in Fəxom and Bjeheond is very close to the spoken language. | ||
