[edit] [view] Arcipélagoí (Archipelagic Aurelian)This dialect of Aurelia is spoken in the north east of the country and the islands surrounding it. Due to the area's proximity to Greece, Archipelagic Aurelian (known regionally as Arcipélagoí) has been influenced by the various Greek dialects in its phonology, vocabulary, and grammar. Arcipélagoí is also commonly written using the Greek alphabet.
[edit] [view] Aurelís Norda (Northern Aurelian)Due to its proximity to Sicily, the Aurelian spoken in the west of the country has had many influences from Sicilian in terms of its vocabulary, pronunciation, and even grammar. Because most of the west of the country became the independent country of Coastia, this dialect of Aurelian is now only spoken in the north west of Aurelia.
