| Message | OOC: Malivia has strong cultural and historical connections to Dundorf that do not exist for Luthori. Plus the upper class and empowered Dundorf minority in the country are embarking on a mass change of the country. The official language will be Dundorfian however most people will continue to learn their local language as such massive change takes many years to manifest |
