User:CaribbeanIslandMapper/Language Classification Proposal

From OpenGeofiction

This is a proposal to create a taxonomy and classification for the languages existing on OGF, and to describe where and how they originated.

Classification

Ulethan Languages

Equivalent to Indo-European. All languages, real or constructed, that descend from PIE or a lateral relative of PIE should go here.

  • Proto-Ulethan (Proto-Indo-European) - originated in central and eastern Suria.
    • Romantian (Romance)
    • Gaermanic (Germanic)
      • North Gaermanic/Nordish (RL North Germanic)
      • Central Gaermanic (RL West Germanic)
        • Kalmish (RL German)
          • Western Kalmish (Kalmish of Kalm)
          • Eastern Kalmish (Kalmish in East Uletha)
            • Low Eastern Kalmish (Low German)
              • Remsfalian (Westphalian, Low Saxon)
              • Kronenburgish (Eastern variety influenced by Sanain)
            • High Eastern Kalmish (High German)
              • Blönnisch (Austro-Bavarian)
                • West Blönnisch (Hallernburg to Daxau, largely Munich Bavarian)
                • East Blönnisch (around Burgenau, Viennese)
        • Anglish (RL English)
      • TBD (RL East Germanic)
    • [TBD]-Sanain-Slevic (Balto-Slavic + Sanain)
      • Slevic (Slavic)
        • West Slevic (RL West Slavic)
          • Lechian (RL Polish)
          • Drabantian (RL Czech and Slovak)
        • Eganian (Central) Slevic (RL South Slavic)
          • Banuvian (RL Croatian?)
          • Maliorian
          • Zalivnichkan
        • South Slevic (RL East Slavic)
          • Surian (RL Russian)
          • Dregolesian (RL Ukrainian/Belarusian?)
          • Dregovinan (RL Belarusian?)
      • Sanain (divergent para-Slavic language)
        • Modern Sanain
          • Plains Sanain
          • Mountain Sanain
          • Eastern Sanain
        • Lessian (Forest Sanain)
      • [TBD] (Baltic)
    • Galaig (Celtic)

Paleo-Ulethan Languages

Equivalent to Paleosiberian. Languages isolate and small families found in Uletha without known connections go here, without the need for genetic relation within the group.

  • Yanuic (Ainu)
    • Izaki Yanu
      • Vozg (Divergent variety of Yanu with heavy Sanain influence)
        • Southern Vozg
  • Izanic (Izaki)
    • Izaki
  • Kojoic (Kojo)
    • Kojo

Celtic is Caeltig in OGF, with two branches : Goidalig (RL Irish, Scottish Gaelic, & Manx) and Brethanic (RL Welsh (OGF Cambric / Cambraeg), Cornish, and Breton).
English is Ingerish. "Anglish" is a real-world term for a "pure" English without foreign imports (mainly French and Latin). Pawl (talk) 10:30, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

If this is an official proposal that you would like to see community involvement in, please post this in the appropriate forum, so it can be more visible and properly archived later. If this is just a sandboxing workspace, it’ll be renamed as such to reflect its status. On a different note, language family information has intentionally been stripped out of the wiki in most cases for a variety of reasons related to past issues with edit wars, perceived ownership, culturally or linguistically inappropriate naming of branches, and to keep our wonky canon cleaner. If this is something you really think we need to attempt to resolve and include in the canon, post it in the forum so we can find a way to corporately find a way to mitigate these issues. Thank you. — Alessa (talk) 13:07, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
