Karaalani language is a Slavic language out of Kento-Polyash language group, which is a (co-)official language of the Karaalan region of Monte Blanco, Mustelaria.

Introduction

The Language has slavic root and grammar, and has 6 cases. Karaalani is slightly influenced by its bordering languages, like the Belgorian dialects, but it has managed to stay to its roots, quriosly it has words that sound very similar to words in the Kentalian langauge of Kentalis.

Writing System

Karaalani has two official scripts (Both Alphabets), an adapted version of the Protopolyash script used in the Belgorian language, and the prefered Karaalani variant of the Old Govoric alphabet (commonly reffered to as the Iraklic script after the Karaalani who standerdised it), which drops certain nasal letters, but keeps others. Some people preffer to use a modified latin alphabet too, which has also been standerdised.

Dialects

Karaalanish has 4 recognized dialects, the (standart) Eastern, Western, Southern and Sofgorod dialects.

The Western and Southern dialects differ mainly from the Eastern and Sofgorod dialects by the fact they dont pronounce the /j/ in the letter Ѣ/Ⳉ/Ý, which in the standert Eastern dialect is pronounced as /jæ~jɜ/, and in Sofgorod as /jɛ/. The Southern dialect dosent pronounce the stress in double characters, like in the word 'Karaalanski' ('Karaalanish'), insted of (standart Eastern) /kaɾaˈaɫan.ski/ it becomes /kɑɾɑlan.skɪ/. It also always pronounces Л/Ⲗ/L as an /l/. The Western dialect has nasal vowels when followed after 'n', some epakers in the far west parts pronounce their r's like /ʁ/s, sum ppl consider it a seperate dialect, tho officially its recognized as an 'accent'. The Sofgorod dialect conbines nasalization with the the /n/s and pornounces most i's as /ɨ/s and has a lot of 'unstressing'.
