Panċone

Panċone (Royal Stndr. [pan.ˈt͡ʃo.nə.], Republican Stndr. [pan.ˈt͡ʃœ.ne.]), is an Northern Aneuric Language of the Humanic Language family, with its earliest forms spoken in the central regions of the Rojan Peninsula. It evolved in the modern day nation of Pantoṡ, part of the larger Kingdom of Rojañe, from forms of Vulgar Añur that, spoken by settlers from the Baimvair Empire. It closely related to Vadrúlh and Cvōnt, less closely to languages Southern, Western and Eastern Aneuric Languages, like Bimvirn, and more distantly to languages of other branches, such as Ârz and Ràjìtlì.

Today, the language is spoken by approximately 570 million speakers, around 430 million of which are second language speakers. It hold official status in 27 sovreign nations, and is widely spoken throughout many more, as well as being one of the operating languages of the Turshésh Economic Cooperation Agreement, and the K’orochain Economic Union, and of the International Cooperation Union. Modern Panċone was spread throughout the world since the 11th century, mostly as a consequence of the global influence held by the Rojane Empire and The Republic of Funtiñe. Panċone has, in many ways, become a language of international discourse and instruction, used in most international trade, navigation, education, science and law.

Modern Panċone arose as a unique collection of Aneuric Varieties, influenced primarilly by the Rahalanic and Reshwinic Languages. It has been argued that the dialects of Eastern Pantoṡ should be considered seperate languages, however, due to the standardisation of the language, and the discouragement of dialectal usage in schools, the differences between varieties has been greatly reduced. Today, despite their being a wide variety of diversity in dialect globally, most nations conform to one of two standards for in education, particularly in terms of writing. The Royal language, established in 1484, was based on the speech of the contemporary Llabanzinṡos Aristocracy, whereas the Republican Standard of 1490 was created from an amalgamation of dialects, representing different regions of the nation.

The language today could be described as a mostly fusional one, although certain morphology could be described as agglutinative. It has undergone many changes typical of the branch, such as the semantic transition from its Classical Añur's converbs into modal morphology, and the extension of its Past Perfect declension into a full Tense-Aspect Complex. It also has some unique features, notably the presence of both Prepositions and Postpositions, an incredibly are feature.
