Dogarde

Dogarde is a Germanic-Austronesian conlang mainly in Dogarland. It is an official language of the country.

The Standard Dogarde is created and developed from the two main dialects of Dogarde: Nördtung (Dogarde: North Tongue) and Süddila (Dogarde: South Tongue). As the name suggests, Dogarde Nördtung is mainly spoken in the Northern part while Dogarde Süddila is mainly spoken in the Southern part of Dogarde. Nördtung is heavily influenced by Germanic languages while Süddila is heavily influenced by Austronesian language. The standardization effort is done by the people of Dogarde since the creation of Dogarland as a unifying form of the language so it is more mutually-intelligible for every people in the country.
