While this form is spoken natively by most Kiryaakats, especially the younger generations, it must be noted it did not arise through natural evolution, it was explicitly engineered to be how it is by an academy, to which a reformed language would be beneficial. | ||
Among this reformation of the language was many new loanwords from Greek to replace older words that could be seen as potentially offensive or derogatory, many of these already existed within the language, but were now the standard, such as "σκϊύλάσ" (From Greek "σκῠ́λᾰξ") replacing older "πενιγγα" (From Proto-Finnic *penikka), this specific example was already common among younger speakers, and it became especially so with the rise of the internet. | Among this reformation of the language was many new loanwords from Greek to replace older words that could be seen as potentially offensive or derogatory, many of these already existed within the language, but were now the standard, such as "σκϊύλάσ" (From Greek "σκῠ́λᾰξ") replacing older "πενιγγα" (From Proto-Finnic *penikka), this specific example was already common among younger speakers, and it became especially so with the rise of the internet. | ||
