In its setting Technoquintlan, it is one of the two main academic languages spoken around fT 2700 (around 2450 in the Gregorian calendar), alongside Akademiesprache. | ||
Some linguists classify this not as a separate language, but as a dialect/sociolect of Schlaub. However, fT 2700 Schlaub is not mutually intelligible with Wug Nlab, causing this classification to fail. In addition, due to the dizzying number of grammatical particles it can be difficult to understand Wug Nlab for a purely Schlaub speaker. | Some linguists classify this not as a separate language, but as a dialect/sociolect of Schlaub.

It can also be considered a kind of relex of Terran mathematical notation as the infix notation works well with the overall-SVO structure of Schlaub. Some Wug Nlab users support the use of VSO word order for the language because of Classical Windermere and Trician mathematical notation, however, the SVO order is much more common. | It can also be considered a kind of relex of Terran mathematical notation as the infix notation works well with the overall-SVO structure of Schlaub.
