About Gaichi
A melting pot of cultures between Chū-Kata, Nimandrians, Mec, Xō and even some Nara in the South to name but a few, Lah is considered many countries in one (sometimes a 'continent in a continent') though they all fall under the one jurisdiction. Lah's history is seeped in swinging towards and away from centralisation and decentralisation over the years as a result of its populous being a cultural mishmash. Ġayče mirrors the culture as it struggles to have an identity of its own amidst its endless loanwords, borrowed grammar, copied orthography and stolen ideas.

Gaichi[view] About IgleticThe original starting point for all languages in the continent of Igleis, basically my conworld's equivalent of PIE.
[view] Ġäǧe (Chuu-Gaiche)Spoken mostly in East Lah by Chū-Kata descendants and those in the border region in Chū-Mèe itself. Ġäǧe is an approximation of Ġayče which has undergone some change to better fit Chū-Bing. This dialect is most discernable by its low inflection and its tonality, the Chū-Bing roots being made obvious by such features.
[view] Gai Mečix (Futhic Gaichi)Spoken mostly around the North in the Fyþir border region but extending out over time due to the movement of Mec into Northern Lah and the crossing of cultures across shifting borders over the centuries.
[view] Ġasa (Nara Gaichi)Literally coming from 'Spit Gaichi', this is the Gaichi spoken by the small Nara population in the South. Due to the small population speaking this dialect, the vast majority of the terms and grammar come from other dialects and languages with only some concessions made to fit Gaichi to the Nara mouth.
