About Constructed Imperial Tongue
The Constructed Imperial Language was developed at the formation of the Imperial Federation, consisting of thousands of individual planets that span many thousands of light years.

It's official grammar, vocabulary, idioms, and phonology are rigidly controlled by the central imperial government and was intentionally developed without any irregularities to facilitate its learning among the multinational empire.
