Dutch or English?
Are there even English-speaking people lurking here?
Re: Dutch or English?
Hoogstwaarschijnlijk zijn er wel een paar mensen die af en toe de laatste posts bekijken.

2.Eki Aholibamah Verion, Queen in the North
3. Ludovic Verion, Lord of Blackstone and Governor-General of the Iron Company
4. Jeremy Harwinsson Archer, super sleuth

De vraag is natuurlijk of dat onze nationale taal zou moeten bepalen.

Mogelijk maar of het onze burgers ook zijn is een tweede vraag. Ook in het Labyrinth heb ik geen Engelstaligen gezien...Jack wrote:Hoogstwaarschijnlijk zijn er wel een paar mensen die af en toe de laatste posts bekijken.

Bij het opstellen van de grondwet zou ik alvast blij zijn als ik de oude Jingdaoese grondwet van stal kan halen...Jack wrote:De vraag is natuurlijk of dat onze nationale taal zou moeten bepalen.

Ik zou een voorstander zijn van het re-introduceren van het Zuidbataafs (of hoe we het ook noemen) als de officiële taal van ons Rijk, maar tevens Engels wel een legitieme status te geven.

Re: Dutch or English?
Comrades,
It seems I missed this debate. I myself am not very sure about my vote. I understand the wish to reintroduce South Batavian as official language, but what would the 'official language' status and 'recognised language' even mean? Which one will be used in politics, debates,...? Could someone clarify this?

The official language would be used for the laws. In debates the official language would be used, but other languages can be used too, at times.

I assume that the Aryans and Kildari will be educated to use the proper language?

Re: Dutch or English?
I would prefer it if we keep propaganda and the forum banner in English, just to be more easily approachable for English speakers.

I would agree. Otherwise we would be preaching to the choir.
