LANGUAGES
The languages present in Rutania are a representation of the diverse ethnicities existing within the nation. Although throughout the numerous colonial administrations which passed through the nation imposed oppressive laws aimed at curtailing the use of Fìor-Caldorian, the language is making a come-back in a major way, being placed alongside Luthorian as one of the nations two official languages. Kilani (Irish-Gaelic), Draddwyr (Welsh), Dundorfian (German) and Ibutho (Zulu) are primarily spoken by 1st and 2nd generation immigrants from the Kirlawa, Aloria, Dundorf and Hawu-Mumenhes/Irkadon respectively.
