Crackfic Tricin's Talma (Irish: Poblacht na Talma) is a unified republic, and Irish is the dominant language in it with English a common second language. Southern and eastern parts speak Idavic, and some pockets speak Korean, Japanese, Qazhrian, Judeo-Anbirese (assimilated Jews speak Irish and English), and Slavo-Windermere.

Languages

Talman English

Basically our Hiberno-English but with more Eevo syntax

Talman Irish

Almost the same as Irtan Standard Irish, with slang terms from Talmic and topic-prominence (from Eevo, Korean and Japanese) in broad speech

Mise tá claíomh (agam) 'I have a sword'

Tusa 's claíomh atá (agat), mise 's iachár atá (agam) 'You have a sword, I have a Talman machine gun' or even Tusa 's claíomh, mise 's iachár

Talman Japanese and Korean

Lots of calques and loans from Irish (in addition to English) in formal language; code switching with Irish and English is common

should sound stilted in a way somewhat different from English literally translated into Korean does

Talmic and Lakovic

All Talmic and Lakovic languages are extinct in Talma except:

  • Slavo-Windermere
  • Judeo-Anbirese
  • Qazhrian

All three are minority languages, spoken by highly religious groups.
