NORTHERN AUVERGNIAN | A GUIDE

[critter 2812]

 

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Spoiler

Three things:

- I enjoy the RP aesthetics of a French-based language/culture, particularly as someone who mains an Auvergnian-descended persona and has studied medieval art/culture of France and its nearby regions;

- I do not speak a lick of French;

- I do not like using Google Translate and a few vague schoolbook memories to constitute my RP language.

 

If you speak French or using Google Translate has no impact on your immersive, premium RP experience, awesome! Maybe this isn't for you. But if you're open to adding some depth to current human RP cultures, then I've put together the following; a constructed language which draws its vocabulary predominantly and verbatim from Anglo-Norman (an archaic grandfather language of French), with some contemporary French already used by Auvergnian RP'ers, and influences from New Marian and some other in-game conlangs.

 

If you are familiar with the French language, you will notice a few major exclusions, mostly in conjugation and pronouns. This is because this is an RP resource - I chose the vocab with an eye for item-making and post-writing - and not an actual guide on how to speak French or Anglo-Norman.

 

I chose to present this as Northern Auvergnian both because I play a Northern Auvergnian, and so that no player feels pressured to cram this into their RP. It's fine and natural for different character groups to speak different variants of a language, and I'm not out here shoving a retcon into the years upon years of human RP history; just putting another tool in our toolbox as a collaborative storytelling community.

 

If folks are interested in this as an ongoing project, I can be found on Discord at critter#2059 or here on the forums.

 

A record of the Northern Auvergnian language; its roots tracing back to Flexio, the Auvergnat of Savoyards and Imperial vassals, and Nauvmariav and Raevir dialects; compiled in this document in both archaic and modern forms of use, and printed at the hand of Lord Fabian Otto d'Arkent-Kortrevich, Archivist to the House Kortrevich.
