Description[?]:
| The national and official language of Tukarali, today known as Tukarese, has a long and prestigious history in our nation. But what is now known as Tukarese did not always carry this name. Instead, the honour of being known as simply the "Tukarese language" belonged to one of the indigenous languages spoken in our territory, today known as Datang (Tagalog). The unification of Tukarali as a modern nation state under the glorious Ryan Malagar indirectly paved the way towards the adoption of a single national language. But Modern Tukarese did not come to prominence for many centuries afterwards. During the rule of Malagar and his successors Datang and Panmuan (Mongolian) served as the official languages, and it was during those times that modern Tukarese culture was built. To honour our predecessors and in homage to the indigenous people of Tukarali we propose that Datang be returned to official status and that the government invest in language revitalization programmes. We also propose adopting a new bilingual national anthem that makes reference to our glorious land and celebrates all Tukarese cultures. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Tukarese (Portuguese): Já podeis da Pátria filhos Ver contente a Mãe gentil; Já raiou a Liberdade No Horizonte de Tukarali Já raiou a Liberdade Já raiou a Liberdade No Horizonte de Tukarali. Brava Gente Tukaresa Longe vá, temor servil; Ou ficar a Pátria livre, Ou morrer por Tukarali. Ou ficar a Pátria livre, Ou morrer por Tukarali. Luthorian (English): Already can you, sons of the Fatherland, See your gentle mother happy. Liberty has already risen At Tukarali's horizon. Liberty has already risen Liberty has already risen At Tukarali's horizon. Brave Tukarese people! Far begone, slavery's fear! Either keep the Fatherland free, Or die for Tukarali. Either keep the Fatherland free, Or die for Tukarali.

Proposed:
| Tukarese (Portuguese): Terra adorada Filha do Sol do Oriente, Seu fogo ardente em ti latente está. Terra escolhida! Do heroísmo berço, Os invasores Jamais te pisarão. Em teu céu azul, em tuas brisas, Em teus montes e em teu mar Resplandece e palpita o poema De tua amada liberdade. Teu estandarte, que nas lutas A vitória iluminou, Não verá nunca apagados Suas estrelas e seu sol. Terra ditosa, do Sol e de amores, Em teu regaço doce é viver. É uma glória para teus filhos, Quanto te ofendem, por ti morrer. Datang (Filipino/Tagalog): Bayang magiliw Perlas ng Silanganan, Alab ng puso, Sa dibdib mo'y buhay. Lupang Hinirang, Duyan ka ng magiting, Sa manlulupig, Di ka pasisiil. Sa dagat at bundok, Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw, May dilag ang tula At awit sa paglayang minamahal. Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y Tagumpay na nagniningning, Ang bituin at araw niya Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim. Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta, Buhay ay langit sa piling mo; Aming ligaya, na pag may mang-aapi Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo. Luthorian (English): Land of the morning, Child of the sun returning, With fervor burning, Thee do our souls adore. Land dear and holy, Cradle of noble heroes, Ne'er shall invaders, Trample thy sacred shore. Even within thy skies and through thy clouds, And o'er thy hills and sea. Do we behold the radiance, Feel the throb of glorious liberty. Thy banner, dear to all our hearts, Its sun and stars alight. O, never shall its shining field, Be dimmed by tyrant's might! Beautiful land of love, O land of light, In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie. But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged, For us, thy sons, to suffer and die. |

| Message | It's okay to change the national anthem because the current one isn't nice, but we can't consider a language that is almost dead and that hasn't been recognized for years like Datang, it would be absurd to invest money to revitalize an old and meaningless language and it would be unthinkable have it studied in schools and use it to compose a national anthem, so we completely disagree with the reintroduction of the datang. |
