Packilvanian language: Difference between revisions

The '''Packilvanian language''' (Packilvanian: ''luTamuk luBakhilfaniya'') is language spoken predominantly in Central [[Yasteria]]. It is the sole official language of [[Packilvania]], a co-official language in [[Hadena]] and [[Phoenixia]], and a regionally recognised language of [[Drakkengard]]. Due to the Packilvanian diaspora, Packilvanian is spoken in many other countries around the world. The Packilvanian Language Board (PLB) is responsible for the teaching, recording, and oversight of the Packilvanian language in Packilvania and its territories. Packilvanian is not a Unifiedunified language but consists of hundreds of dialects and local varieties. As such, under the rule of the [[Bedonite dynasty]] the PLB working with academics from universities, developed Imperial Standard Packilvanian (ISP), which is a version based on the Bingol dialect and is used for official purposes, news and formal education. It supplanted Modern Standard Packilvanian which was the variety used by the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]] government. The estimateestimated total population of speakers is 1.5 billion first language speakers.

Standard Modern Packilvanian is regarded as an agglutinative synthetic language as many affixes are appended to roots to impart and alter their meaning.
