kaylacita 1018 Share Posted January 26, 2022 “Ri Beinn, Abhainn, Agus Gual” Motto of the House of Baruch ‘By Mountain, River, and Coal’ THE DIALECT AND LANGUAGE OF THE AYRIANS PENNED BY Georgina Sofiya Barclay & Ser Viktor Josef Baruch c. 409 ES INTRODUCTION While most Haeseni are accustomed to Waldenian and Naumariav, the dialect of the Ayrian people that hails from the lands of House Baruch is strange to most, and incomprehensible to the rest. It is unique among the cultural tongues of the Dual-Kingdom, which traces itself back to the largely indecipherable ancient Ayrian language. This collection of common Ayrian words and manners of speaking has been penned with the intent of allowing easy translations, as well as providing a further semblance of uniformity for the tongue itself. I. THE AYRIAN ACCENT For much of the history of the Ayrian peoples they shared in the common tongue of Hanseti-Ruska, Naumariav. The ancestors of most present-day Ayrians would have spoken in a manner indistinguishable from their Haeseni counterparts. Under the influence of Duke Matyas “the Scyfling” Baruch of Valwyck, the distinct dialect and culture was heavily promoted among the peoples of Ayr, integrating much of the language and mannerisms of the namesake of Matyas. The tongue of the Ayrians has only reached its maturity in the most recent generations. While not entirely unified, many Ayrians share words and patterns of speech unique to their culture. Despite minor differences from man to man, all generally share the same thick, rhotic accent. SENTENCE STRUCTURE The - Th’ That - Tha’ To, Too, Two - Tae Of - O’ Or - Er For - Fer Be - Bae Do - Dae Did Not - Didnae Do Not - Dinnae Can Not - Cannae Suppose - S’pose PRONOUNS I - Ah My - Me You - Ye You Are - Yer Many Ayrians tend to drop T’s and H’s in words as they speak, an extreme case of this can be seen in the following example; ‘elp ‘er ge’ th’ ca’. → (Help her get the cat.) Note; This is not always the case, however, and would only be so in the instance of a particularly thick accent. Annunciation is held in high regards to phrases when in vital situations, such as when one is the host to a feast, or speaking to higher nobility. Like many other dialects, Ayrians often do not pronounce the ‘g’ in words which end in ‘ing’, for example; Yer killin’ me, pal. → (You’re killing me, pal.) II. COMMON WORDS While most Ayrians do not commonly use the pure form of the language, a few words have managed to sneak their way into common usage.

CURSES A** - Arse C*** - Cont F*** - Fock S*** - Shite B**** - Bollocks Note; While the aforementioned are by far the most widely used curse words by the Ayrian people, they pride themselves on their quick wit and ability to formulate spontaneous, though oftentimes nonsensical, insults.
