Bill: OOC: Alorian Language Revision
Details
Submitted by[?]: Industrialist Party of Aloria
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: May 2704
Description[?]:
| Ask anyone on this game, Italians(or more aptly put Istalians) live in Terra. They are a minority in Quanzar, and speak Italian. This means that Alorian can't be Italian. We should agree that Alorian is another language, preferably one that has an easy to use online translator. PROPOSED REAL LIFE MIRROR LANGUAGE FOR ALORIAN LANGUAGE: CATALAN Catalan has two distinct dialects, which is perfect since Aloria has two geographically isolated areas of Alorian speakers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_language http://traductor.gencat.net/text.do REMEMBER NO MATTER HOW ALORIAN OR TERRAN HISTORY GOES, ITALIAN IS ALREADY USED. |

| Message | Our Catalan party name doesn't sound as good as our Italian one. "Socialisme d'Igualtat de Llibertat" not as good. Or we could become the "Aliança Socialista"... |

| Message | I like the second one, it's shorter. But the fact is Alorian unfortunately can't be Italian... It's already taken(if I could I would switch the tables). |

| Message | well, do like catalan or italian, but we've always been an English speaking nation. We have English surnames, English lastnames etc. You've based this on Quanar, but their it was played by italians.... |

| Message | What happened was Quanzar, an Arabic nation, was hijacked by ITalians. They named it Istalia and REVISED the ingame and pre game history, and only recently did a different people get hold. Now Quanzar is seen as a nation with an Anglophonic minority, an Italian minority(kind of like the French in game), and an Arabic majority that speaks English in large part. Unfortunately Alorian history had to be tied in with the Istalian revisionist history, but either way it would have to be a distinct language from Italian. |

| Message | And that's where Selucia came in, we needed a Romantic LAnguage for Alorian to be spawned from. So the Crusader pilgrim colonisation theme plays into that. |
| Date | 23:10:50, January 28, 2009 CET | From | Centre Democrats | To | Debating the OOC: Alorian Language Revision |
| Message | So Catalan (or Alorian as it is) is an old language from the past, and currently spoken by a minority? Cause don't really know what's the meaning of this bill? To make it an official religion?? |
| Date | 23:44:28, January 28, 2009 CET | From | Industrialist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the OOC: Alorian Language Revision |
| Message | Currently spoken in the Krentori Delta and norther Sildar peninsula. It is descended from Selucian. This bill just DEFINES what it is. Nothing more, as you cannot derrive more from it. |
