#REDIRECT [[Anglic]]
'''Anglic''' aka ''Galanglic'' (for Galactic Anglic) is the official language of the [[Third Imperium]]. A distant descendent of Terran [[Wikipedia:English language|English]], Anglic was used as a general communication language between people among the terran forces - even though most of them had a different mother tongue, depending to their country of birth.
 
 
 
== Galanglic (Language) History & Background ==
 
The first Imperium itself had several languages: it had been born out of a gathering of worlds which all had their own civilizations and languages. However, given the centralized structure of the Imperium, the Vlani language had imposed itself as a common language.
 
 
 
After the Terran forces conquered the Imperium, Anglic became naturally the official language of the [[Rule of Man]] ( -2294 to -1776) and remained a common interstellar language for trade and commerce during the [[Long Night]]. Its widespread use on the original worlds of the Third Imperium made it the natural language when the Imperium was established.
 
 
 
== Galanglic (Language) Etymology ==
 
Modern Anglic naturally includes words from various origins, notably many Vlani words. In addition the evolution of the language has made it completely different from the old Terran English.
