Midlander Language

Midlander was the language of the Midlander peoples. The language was the lingua-franca of the Chikago Empire, being widely used in the Eastern Empire as a primary or secondary language, while Texan was popular in the Western Empire. It was often spoken as a main language by those of the Midlands, or as a secondary language for trade and diplomacy, used alongside native provincial tongues. Midlander was the official language of the military and imperial court, and Chikagoan officials were required to know the language.

Midlander has two distinct dialects. The more common and more widely spoken one was Hoosier, which spoken in Chikago and the lower Midwest. Upper Midlander, also known as the Yooper Dialect, is a harsher variant of Midlander spoken in the more rural areas of the Upper Midwest, including Minisota, Iyowa, Wiscansin, and Upper Mishigan.

Midlander is one of the languages descended from the ancient Anglish language, which was spoken before the Flood. It is a also considered to be the language that remains the most similar to the ancient form of Anglish. This is though to be due to the midlands central location in Merika.
