Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition: Difference between revisions

The majority of vernaculars are non-Chlouvānem languages that coexist with Chlouvānem languages since the expansion of the Yunyalīlta and the formation of a métis and hybrid Chlouvānem ethnicity; in most of the Plain and the Jade Coast the formation of this ethnicity happened so far back in time that eventually only the Chlouvānem-derived vernacular remains (save for a few areas, notably in the Līrah River Hills in the northeastern Plain and in some areas of the Western Plain); in all other parts of the country, the patterns of languages are similar to ethnicity (even if there is a much greater number of non-Chlouvānem-language/creole speakers than of non-Chlouvānem people, as many ethnically hybrid people are counted as Chlouvānem even if they have three or more non-Chlouvānem ethnicities in their family tree): large urban areas are predominantly Chlouvānem-vernacular speaking, as are the most densely populated areas along rivers and most of the coasts, while the rural hinterlands mostly speak a non-Chlouvānem vernacular. Haikamotē in the Northern Far East, the most populated and most densely populated diocese in the country, is a partial exception as it is the only diocese outside the Plain and Jade Coast (and minor, sparsely populated areas) where speakers of a Chlouvānem vernacular are over 90%. Tūnambasā, Seikamvēyeh, and to a lesser extent most other ethnic dioceses are areas where the non-Chlouvānem vernacular is generally more widespread.<br/>Note that, while in cities the main vernacular is most often a Chlouvānem one, due to their generally more cosmopolitan nature they see a larger usage of the classical language in daily colloquial interactions. In the largest cities it is not uncommon to find cultural circles speaking immigrant languages, both vernaculars of other parts of the Inquisition and languages from elsewhere like most notably Soenjoan, Kuyugwazian, or various Yombu-Raina languages from eastern Védren.
