Language family relationships
[edit] [view] Gićmeunj (Central Knodian)This is the official dialect of the nations of Knodźon. It is spoken by the capital city and the surrounding areas.
[edit] [view] Mačiqnevinj (Makeknian)Less of a dialect and more of a sister language, this offshoot from the main sequence of Knod has sounds foreign to other dialects, such as its series of clicks. Some locals call the language "Qenoud," derived from the same source as the official language, Knod, derives its name. In the capital and on most of the isles, the dialect is instead called "Mägekmeun."
[edit] [view] Njiqlamismeunj (Nikmaklitian)Hailing from the northern continent of Nikmaklitia, this "dialect" of Knod isn't as distant from the standardized dialect as Makeknian, but it is definitely distinct. There isn't much of a revolutionary mindset in its speakers, for they have a more laid-back lifestyle focusing on self-fulfillment and civility. The braver among them, however, call their language "Qnod" to distinguish it from the island Knod.
