View source for Tungmal

Tungmal (translated "language"; pronounced ˈtuŋˌmaːl / toong-mal) is the main language spoken in [[Høvemark/Hófasviði]]. It was used together with [[Altsprech]] before the [[War of Dignity]], then [[Altsprech]] was forcefully made the primary language. After the liberation of [[Lanborg]], with the establishment of the [[Commonwealth]], [[Altsprech]] was banned and remained in the dark past. It is comparable to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_language Icelandic] from real life.

==Lore==
When Lanborg as first established, old Tungmal was present, yet was spoken by very few families. [[Altsprech]] was spoken more frequently, with the city then having the name Lannburg ([[Altsprech]]) at the time, [[Altsprech]] was considered vital and more increasingly dying out, as other castles were abandoned. As trade grew due to [[Lanborg]]'s port status over the next hundreds of [[Ð]], old [[Åranian]] and similar northern languages were increasingly more important and more and more settlers came from those lands. This created a mix of languages, as [[Altsprech]] was famously difficult to learn, creating a language barrier, which made [[Lanborg]] lose lots of money. <br/>
New settlers had an easier time learning Tungmal, as some parts were mutually intelligible, making Tungmal a "language of trade and progress" and [[Altsprech]] "a language of times gone". This made [[Altsprech]] slowly turn irrelevant and Tungmal becoming the main language. This was also when [[Grantorvet]] was colonised by the [[Lanborg]] Empire, spreading Tungmal into [[Thorildhøj]].<br/>
When [[Ari II]] came to reign, he wanted to make [[Lanborg]]ians proud of their "independent language". [[Ari II]] stopped teaching Tungmal in schools and only allowed [[Altsprech]] to be in official signs and documents.<br/>

==Today==
Today, the language is the most common one inside [[Høvemark/Hófasviði]], and has its capitol in [[Lanborg]]. Outside of [[Lanborg]], yet inside of [[Høvemark/Hófasviði]], Tungmal is less popular, but always learned in school. This is due to [[Høvemark/Hófasviði]] high indeginous population, which preffer to communicate on languages similar to Occitan within their household, even though they are completely capable of Tungmal.
