World Languages

• Anglic: The official language of the Principality of Caledon; specifically a group of dialects known simply as Caledonian Anglic.
  • Speakers with higher education and backgrounds from the upper middle class and higher speak a dialect very close to classical Anglic with a thin accent; heavier accents and different vocabulary occur the further afield from the nobility, and from Caledon itself, the speaker hails.
• Gheldaght: A descendant of the antiquarian Caledonian ethnic language, found among ardent cultural nationalists and the highly-educated.
