<< Also of note is that the written form of Western is the same throughout the
West. This implies to me that all spoken versions of Western derive from
Brithini >>
It could just mean that the Western languages use a non-phonetic script,
like Chinese, which exists in the same written form throughout China despite
the existence of numerous unrelated spoken languages. However, the relative
ease of comprehension between Western languages would indicate that they are
closely related, and presumably derive from Brithini. The last time this was
debated on the Digest it was suggested that the Western script is phonetic,
but that it was considered wrong to write in languages other than Brithini in
much the same way as writing native European languages instead of Latin was
once thought to be somewhat crude (if not exactly forbidden). This was,
however, only a suggestion and not necesserily an official Gloranthan 'truth'.
Forward the glorious Red Army!
