[edit] [view] Boulundă (Boulunese)Spoken in the Western parts of the Caravanic homelands by the tribe of David the Densehaired. It is named after the Danish village of Boeslunde, at the heart of the historical homeland at the Great Belt strait. Speakers of Boulunese refer to their dialect as ''Faralanș'', which in Standard Caravanic is a term meaning ''to converse, eat and drink in a social context, often brightly coloured with typical Caravanic humour and wit.''
[edit] [view] Noidapiâtlădă (Informal Caravanic)This is the informal register of Caravanic, used in colloquial speech. It differs from formal literary Caravanic in several ways, mainly in its usage of clipped forms of more elaborate morphemes in the formal register. (e.g. the paucal prefix dăwei- in Formal Caravanic is reduced to doi- in informal speech and written correspondence.)
