About Regentish
Regentish is a language born out of Neapolitan and Sicilian dialects with some influence from Romanesco, Venetian, and Tuscan spoken in Regente Republic and serving as an official language and/or lingua franca in several other neighboring countries. It's a pluricentric language with several competing standards: South Coast Regentish and Merida Regentish. The level of mutual intelligibility between Regentish dialects is considerably high. Some characteristics that distinguish them from other Romance languages are the loss of distinction between feminine and masculine in the plural, the usage of clitic subject pronouns, the simplification of the verbal paradigm (which is more extreme in Merida Regentish) and the absence of a direct object clitic pronoun in the 3rd person singular in most of cases.

Regentish [view] Regentin der Monterrubro (Crvenagorski Regentish)Crvenagorski Regentish is a subgroup of dialects within the Merida Regentish variety spoken in Crvena Gora as one of the two official languages (the other being Crvenagorski). It doesn't differ much from Merida Regentish, with the main features being the pronunciation of C and G before E and I as /ts/ and /dz ~ dʒ/, the palatalization of T and D before the aforementioned consonants (as in most Merida Regentish dialects) and the lack of a schwa and vowel reduction.
[view] Regentinu ra Costa Sur (Elder Southern Coast Regentish)South Coast Regentish is a dialect of Regento-Meridese that was widely spoken in the Metropolitan area of Regente do Sul in the past, but is now only spoken between the elderly. A new metropolitan dialect mixing elements of Meridese Regentish and the former South Coast Regentish arose fairly recently. It retained the distinction between long and short consonants, syntactic gemination and some of the verbal morphology it had inherited from Latin and Old Regentish.
[view] Rexentin er Fenadeł (Fenadel Regentish)Fenadel Regentish is mutually intelligible with Gaynanlog Regentish and they both share the same written standard, based somewhat in Meridese Regentish. The main difference between Fenadelian and Guernesic written standards is that Fenadel Regentish uses final -e instead of -a, representing its pronunciation as a schwa. It's spoken in the city of Fenadel alongside French and Arusian.
[view] Rexentin Guernesic (Gaynanlog Regentish)Gaynanlog Regentish (rexentin guernesic) is a dialect of Regentish mutually intelligible with Fenadel, Leonese, and Meridese Regentish. What distinguishes it the most is the presence of exclusive/inclusive first-person plural pronouns, the presence of the rounded vowels /y/ and /ø/ (y ø < u aw), /ʁ/ ~ /ʀ/ ~ /r/ as the only rhotic, deletion of almost all final vowels other than /a/ and the lack of vowel reduction.
[view] Regentin er Leone (Leonin Regentish)Leone Regentish(LR) is a dialect of the Merida Regentish(MR) variant of the Regentish diasystem spoken mainly in the urban area of Leone and the Northwest area of Regente Republic. It’s mutually intelligible with other dialects within the diasystem, but has a couple of innovative and distinctive features.

[view] Regentinu er Moanaaina (Moana Regentish)Moana'aina Regentish is a variant of Merida Regentish spoken in Moana'aina colloquially. Some linguists consider it a pidgin that mixes Regentish with languages such as Hawaiian, Indonesian, Tagalog, and several others. The main features are the realization of the rhotics word-initially and /ɾ/ as /l/, the pronunciation of /v/ as /w/ or /b/ and the insertion of a schwa in consonant clusters. Word order has a shift to VSO, due to the influence of Hawaiian. It also has a direct object marker: i.
