Core Anglic (language)

A major dialect of Anglic spoken in the central region of the Imperium.

• Sometimes simply called Anglic as the dominant dialect, or "Galanglic" ("Galactic Anglic") as the universal dialect.

This language is primarily used by the Human race throughout Charted Space.

• It is a hypercentral language.

Description (Specifications)

The term "Galanglic" or ("Galactic Anglic") was actually a subtle piece of political propaganda by the early Imperium concerning its language (what would later become known as the Core Dialect) as it laid claim to former territories of the Rule of Man. Today people use Anglic and Galanglic interchangeably within the Core Regions without much thought.
