The LANGUAGE is spoken by the politically oriented classes of the LAND. It is very much unlike the languages spoken by commoners, the most widespread (but not natively dominant) being THAT TJÄ LANGUAGE.

Sound Change

One dominant force of language change in the LANGUAGE has been the loose equivalent of syllabic rhymes. In essence, beyond the word's onset, like forms attract and merge, or repel and split.
