Sall (language)

The predominate language of Bolivar (Dagudashaag 0240), also spoken as a second language in surrounding subsectors.

Description

Sall, the word, was derived from SALL, a Galanglic acronym of "South American Latin Language". It is a complex mix of Spanish and Portuguese, with significant Indian, West African and Anglic additions. The majority of the words are of Spanish origin, followed by Portuguese. There are many words which are a convenient hybrid of two or more of the ancestral tongues.

In Use

Sall is the first language of Bolivar's population, but it is estimated that seventy percent can also speak Galanglic in varying degrees. The better Galanglic speakers can be found in the major urban centres, the reverse is true of rural areas. At the orbital stations (and colonies at other sites in the system), Sall is spoken fluently by less than fifteen percent. All street signs, public notices and display terminals are dual language. Language translator chips can be found at most good book shops and electrical stores at around Cr.50 each.

Sall is a common second language in the Amec Trade Protectorate.
