About Gaian Language
The Lingua Franca of Latin America. Usonia (former USA), Russia, Brazil, China, the EU, Arabia (a state born in 2070) and South Africa are the biggest superpowers in the World, and Latin America is heavily influenced by Brazil and Usonia. Immigration is so heavy that more than half of the world population lives in a different country than they were born.
Dialects fade as the internet is as popular as never before, and languages start to mix. The phonology is mostly like Portuguese, but without nasal vowels and /ɲ/. The common lexicon comes mostly from Spanish, Portuguese or Esperanto, but scientific/technical words are often from English.
