Græcian (UK: /ˈɡriːsiən/, US: /ˈɡriːʃən/; Græcian: 𐌉𐌍𐌉𐌌𐌔𐌓𐌖 𐌋𐌀𐌊𐌄𐌓𐌇 HREKAL YRSMINI /ɣreˈkal urˈzmini/), formerly known as Neo-Italic, Neo-Italo-Celtic, Neo-Celtitalic; scientifically known as Græco-Italic, is a constructed, artistic language specifically designed for the inhabitants of the Voivodeship of Magna Græcia.

History

In an attempt to strengthen the Græcian identity, the Governor of Græcia appointed selected language construction specialists from the National Hermodicean Academy of Linguistics of Græcia, in order to combine core elements from two non-Indo-European languages (Etruscan and Lemnian, both related), three IE languages (Epic Greek and two Italic languages, Oscan and Umbrian), as well as two proto-languages (namely Proto-Celtic and Proto-Italic). This task will be supervised by His Excellency The Governor, who will also take part in this difficult effort. This will be the second constructed language to be used in Græcia, after South Ruthenian, which is the official language of the borough of Čěrneś.

After dead ends caused by the lack of data on Lemnian, as well as the conflict of the aforementioned proto-languages, the specialists shifted to another list of languages: they eliminated Lemnian, Proto-Celtic and Proto-Italic, and introduced four Indo-European languages: Illyrian, Messapic, Phrygian, and Hittite. On 23 December 2021 AD they Academy released a statement regarding the progress of the language's construction, as well as the groundbreaking changes that might actually set things in motion.

On 15 February 2023 AD, the first vocabulary examples appeared, which really accelerated the language's construction progress.

Dialects

There are three distinct dialects of the Græcian language, depending on the area where it is spoken:

  • Helladic dialect (𐌉𐌍𐌉𐌌𐌔𐌓𐌖 𐌋𐌀𐌍𐌄𐌋𐌋𐌄 ELLENAL YRSMINI), spoken in the Hellas-based voivodeships (Aegean, Atthicon, Moreas).
  • Italic dialect (𐌉𐌍𐌉𐌌𐌔𐌓𐌖 𐌋𐌀𐌍𐌝𐌔𐌀𐌓 RASⱵNAL YRSMINI), spoken in Magna Græcia.
  • Slavic dialect (𐌉𐌍𐌉𐌌𐌔𐌓𐌖 𐌋𐌀𐌉𐌄𐌉𐌓𐌀𐌍 NARIEIAL YRSMINI), spoken in New Yugoslavia.

Each dialect is lexically influenced by the macronational languages of each area.

Orthography

The standard language is regulated so that it is officially written only using the Italic script, although there is an official romanisation deployed only when needed e.g. in foreign texts. The Helladic dialect is written using the Hellenic alphabet; the Italic dialect is written using the Italic script; and the Slavic dialect is written using the Cyrillic script. Græcian speakers in Slavic-speaking boroughs prefer the Glagolitic script. The letters in any case are strictly only capitals.
