Batean[view] About Hadel'Language family that originated in what is now Central Batea.
[edit] [view] yaletmini (Alemi)Batean dialect spoken in Alemi. Most loan words are from the language Yndeic as opposed to Thumissian, Nnellish or Gonian.
[edit] [view] z'ankalini (North Batean/Zyankalian)Dialect spoken in the very isolated North-West Batea, also known as Patek'a Z'ankala.
[edit] [view] tes'sh'bitini (West Batean/Tessbitian)Dialect spoken in West Batea or Patek'a Tes'bit. Resembles a mix of the Alemi dialect and the official eastern dialect. Alemi influence is not only caused by previous occupations, but the general cross mingling between their media and culture-- despite being at war.
