Our Glorious Language
Well after a week or so of development I would like to announce Nova England’s first Con-Lang. It is based upon the Anglo-Saxon Language with a mix of Latin which gives us the language spoken by the masses....East Moor English so called because during the Unification years many of the East Moorland tribes all spoke one similar language whilst many of the New Sussex people spoke various dialects. Therefore King John I learnt the language and thanks to its simplicity used it as a common language throughout the kingdom until the presence of ‘Britannic English’ became the primary language. However now it is hoped by the Ministry of Interior Affairs to rekindle the national language and restore it to its former glory!
