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)
