Bill: OOC: Update of the Cultural Protocol Language
Details
Submitted by[?]: Cildanian Imperial Party
Status[?]: defeated
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 3876
Description[?]:
| OOC: At the moment the Cildanian script is based on the "hebrew script" and the Phoenician language http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=405815. Since the language have been dead in almost 2000 years I propose that we should introduce a simplified Cildanian Script, which is based on the "Hebrew script" and the Hebrew language. This will simplify the language and make it easier for all to roleplay etc. |

From |  Kursari ta' Qildanja | To | Debating the OOC: Update of the Cultural Protocol Language | | Message | That's not really how Cultural Protocols work. There is already an established Selucian minority in Cildania, with 5% of the population. You can't jump them from that percentage to being the dominant ethnicity in Cildania, at least not without major RP. |

From | Kursari ta' Qildanja | To | Debating the OOC: Update of the Cultural Protocol Language | | Message | In any case, considering Phoenician is not very attested and lacks modern political terms, I will continue to update the bill and add new words. In the meantime the most straightforward option is to use Hebrew words and amend them slightly, since Hebrew is the closest relative of Phoenician. |

From | Kursari ta' Qildanja | To | Debating the OOC: Update of the Cultural Protocol Language | | Message | Pretty much, with the caveat that Hebrew is already the language in Beiteynu and IC is closely tied to Yeudism. My suggestion is we define Cildanian as a conlang, based on Phoenician and Punic but with most of its vocabulary based on modern Hebrew. |

From | Kursari ta' Qildanja | To | Debating the OOC: Update of the Cultural Protocol Language | | Message | I am generally suspicious of having Celtic minorities in nations with a non-European culture, as they are often used as a pretext for having a non-Anglophone culture. I guess we can have a small amount of Draddwyr immigrants from Dankuk, fleeing the Kyo regime there, but I would not want to see more than a couple of percentages of them.
Also speaking of improving the Cultural Protocol, I think it would be a good idea to redefine the Department of Cildania as being based on the Maronite Church rather than the Syriac Orthodox Church, as there is now an equivalent of Arameans in Barmenia. The Maronites also follow the Antiochian/West Syrian rite, and they fit better on account of their presence in Lebanon and association with Phoenicianism in RL. |

When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
