Line 43:

Sowaár class is mainly determined by one's family pedigree. Today, one's class is also determined by education level and the schools one went to. Sowaár politics, which tends center-right, is significantly influenced by the class system. An upper class Sowaár person will speak High Sowaár natively, while a middle class speaker will speak a weaker version of their local dialect.

Historically, the Sowaár aristocrats were quite powerful and held de facto power over the king - there was not an absolute monarchy. The modernization of Sóol was mostly led by the aristocrats ~~(unlike in Japan where the shogunate was toppled)~~, and the country was officially made into a parliamentary constitutional monarchy as an ostensibly democratic measure.

*''Tr'aasi'ół entoódreeng'' (Tr'aasi'ół is a poetic name for Sowaár daSóol; a ''toódreeng'' is a species of Sowaár wildflower) is an archetype of a traditional Sowaár "proper lady". A true ''Tr'aasi'ół entoódreeng'' is polite, nurturing and submissive but has a core of inner strength and will and is willing to defend herself and people she cares about when necessary. In fiction such a character will probably be depicted as speaking Amísheg (the cultivated variety of Sowaár).
