Rõktiap: Difference between revisions

Like Persian, Rõktiap is a pluricentric language and has three major standardized varieties today, Zinruol, Ttulmriusi and a third one simply named Rõktiap, the last being the oldest attested literary form. The Zinruol dialect is spoken in the mostly Rythoed-speaking country of Pechsalo and evolved with strong Rythoed substrate influence. Its speakers, especially more urbanized ones, believe that it is a separate language and the only actual descendant of Rõktiap, owing to the fact that it uses the Rythoed writing system, whereas linguists generally agree that it is mutually intelligible with Rõktiap. The Ttulmriusi dialect is written in the Rõktiap script and is a literary koiné drawing influences from both the Rõktiap and Zinruol registers, and has been a sort of informal standard for creative writing such as novels and poetry.
