'''''[[Contionary: drikva#Modern Standard Imperial|Drikva]] [[Contionary: yakke#Modern Standard Imperial|Yakke]]''''' /ˈdrik.vɑ ˈjɑk.ʃe/, or '''Modern Standard Imperial''', is a standardized analytic language developed from an earlier creolized form of of various ancient languages, though it still retains a rather deep orthography from an earlier form. It is written in the Imperial Script ('''''[[Contionary: kuggi#Modern Standard Imperial|Kuggi]] [[Contionary: yakke#Modern Standard Imperial|Yakke]]''''' /ˈkuɡ.ʒi ˈjɑk.ʃe/), which is an alphabet originally written vertically in syllable blocks, but is now most commonly written left-to-right in individual letters. The block-form letters are still commonly used similarly to how majuscule letters are used in Latinate scripts.

The Imperial Language is actually a snapshot of several languages over the course of several centuries. While the written language changed very little in that time, the spoken language changed significantly, and the word order and syntax became much more rigid. In a way, it is analogous to Latin, the Classical form of which would barely be understood by speakers of Vulgar Latin a few centuries later, but the word forms remained largely the same.

===The Imperial Script (''Kuggi Yakke'')===
===The Imperial Script (''Kuggi Yakke'')===
Though this guide uses almost exclusively Romanization for describing the Imperial language, that Romanization (as described above) is derived directly from the Imperial “Alphabet” known as '''''[[Contionary: kuggi#Modern Standard Imperial|Kuggi]] [[Contionary: yakke#Modern Standard Imperial|Yakke]]''''' (“Imperial Writing”). The ''Yakke'' script is arranged in “blocks” of syllables consisting of (minimally) a single vowel, and may contain various types on onsets and codas, each syllable basically forming a square shape. In most modern writing, this square format has been ignored due to constraints on space, and writing has become more compact, but the block style is still a default for signs, titles, important words, and other functions, a bit like majuscule letters or italics might used in Latin scripts, or hiragana in Japanese. These are not direct analogies, of course, but be aware that block script is usually used to set apart important words from other text.

Traditionally the ''Yakke'' script was written vertically from top to bottom in columns from right to left. Recently it has become more common to write it horizontally from left to right, but unlike languages like Chinese or Japanese, where writing direction has changed but character orientation has remained constant, Yakke script written horizontally also changes the direction of the written characters, so a horizontal text can simply be turned 90° to become a vertical text, more like how Mongolian or Manchurian are vertical scripts derived from Sogdian, a vertical script based on horizontally written Syriac.
