Low Common and High Common are actually a dialect continuum, where High Common is completely identifiable, but shading into innumerable Low Common varieties all over the world. Absolutely all Common speakers understand both High Common and the local variety of Low Common, and even elites may slip into some local Low Common in unguarded moments. Typically everyone simply speaks to everyone else in the form of Common they are most comfortable with. People attempting to climb socially will often try to affect a more High Common form of speech, and a Low Common speaker when traveling to an area with a different variety of Low Common may have trouble being understood and may try to speak better High Common in an attempt to bridge the gap. | Low Common and High Common are actually a dialect continuum, where High Common is completely identifiable, but shading into innumerable Low Common varieties all over the world.

The capital of the New World Order, na Seáttyl (Seattle), is located in the North American mega-state of na Kaskétija (Cascadia), which encompasses the entire west coast from the tip of Baja California to the tip of Alaska, and deep into the mountains. In addition, the AXZ headquarters itself is located in Cascadia, in the city of na Purnapi (Burnaby). Hence, the central Cascadian High Common dialect is very prestigious and often copied. | |||
