The first differences in speech between mainlanders(''yagolëos'') and colonials(''bilashaos'') was first noticed in an early newspaper, which reported that some mainlander traders had lost money due to a miscommunication between their colonial counterparts, who had misunderstood the word ''sërskueja bogazar'' "thirty-one batches" for ''sërskueja bogazhar'', "thirty-one receipts", leading to late orders and a loss in revenue. | ||
Although initially seen by mainlanders as an incorrect vernacular of Izhkut, famous colonial writers such as Sagik Khëmi(author of ''Blue Coasters'') helped to culturally popularise Colonial vernacular in the mainland. | Although initially seen by mainlanders as an incorrect vernacular of Izhkut, famous colonial writers such as Sagik Khëmi(author of ''Blue Coasters'') helped to culturally popularise Colonial vernacular in the mainland. | ||
