After the Jaundice Arc, Cardin walks up to Velvet, with his team, in the Star Maiden Garden at Beacon.

Cardin: "Uh... Hey Velvet...?"

Velvet: smiles, expectant "Yes Cardin?"

Cardin: "Uh... Hey, listen. I'm sorry about the ear tugging and the name calling. I promise I won't do it anymore."

Velvet: eyes go wide "Wh-What?!"

Cardin: "It was wrong and-"

Velvet: "YOU'RE BREAKING UP WITH ME?!"

Cardin: "Huh?!"

Velvet: "WHO IS SHE?! WHO'S THE WHORE WHO STOLE MY MAN?! NO ONE CAN LOVE YOU LIKE I CAN!"

Cardin: "We were never— I was just apologizing! For being a jerk! I don't even— There's no one else!"

Velvet: "You tugged my ears because you secretly liked them! You called me 'animal' and 'rabbit' because those were your cute nicknames for me! We were supposed to have a bully and victim-to-lovers arc! Slow burn! Mutual pining! You were going to carry me bridal-style after I saved you from a Beowolf and then we'd share a passionate kiss in the rain!"

Cardin: "Wha...? N-NO! I was just pulling on your ears because I-I was an asshole-!"

Velvet: "LIKE FUN YOU DID! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TELLING ME YOU PICKED ON ME AND FELT NOTHING BUT DISDAIN?!"

Cardin: bright red "... I-I do think you're... Really hot even though I shouldn't...?"

Velvet: "Don't lie to me! You can't just throw away our future like this! We were going to have a spring wedding with carrot cake and everything!"

Cardin: frantic "I love carrot cake!"

Velvet: Sobs "STOP TOYING WITH MY HEART!"

Dove: "Well damn."

Sky: "So that's why she hasn't snapped us all in half yet."

Cardin: "I'm sorry... I... Do like you. I mean, you're really hot."

Cardin: "Can I take you to dinner?"

Velvet: "Will you yank my ears more and tell me I'm a filthy animal?"

Cardin: "All that you like!"

Velvet: "And-And put a collar on me?"

Cardin: "... Maybe save that for the third date?"

Velvet: "..." All smiles "Okay!"

Cardin let himself be pulled along, dazed and confused but oddly not hating it.

Team CRDL watched them go, jaws on the floor. Coco sidles up to them with a smug smirk.

The day has finally come, after extensive brainstoriming we present you the languages of Remnant. Because assuming that there are no languages besides the one that sounds like English is idiotic oversimplification.

This also implies that sometimes characters may be using their own native languages and not English.

---

Languages of Remnant​

I. INTERNATIONAL AND STATUS LANGUAGES
1. Modern Lingua Franca: Vytalian

• Analogue: American English (General American).
• Status: The global language of trade, diplomacy, pop culture, science, and technology. The language of international communication, spoken by literally anyone.
• Major Dialects/Variants:
  
  • General Vytalian: The language of the Vale-proper province (the most cosmopolitan one) and the primary language known by (practically any) inhabitant of Remnant.
  • Albionian (Posh): Analogue of British Received Pronunciation. The language of the Albion aristocracy and old Vale families.
  • Albionian (Cockney): Analogue of London's Cockney accent. The language of the working class of Camelot, the capital city of the Vytalian Commonwealth, Vale.
  • Old Vytalian: Analogue of Old English. An older dialect that is still spoken in rural parts of Vytal.
  • Baltonian: Analogue of Texan/Southern American English. Spoken in Balto, Atlas, and parts of Vale.
  • Menagerian: Analogue of Australian English. Formed in Menagerie through fusing multiple accents and dialects from all over the world.

2. Classical Languages (Status, Academic)

• Old Quitalan
  
  • Analogue: Latin.
  • Status: The language of the ancient empire, the foundation of medicine, jurisprudence, history, and the recent liturgy of the Church of the Broken Table. Studied by scholars, doctors, lawyers, and the aristocracy.
• Old Rostramian
  
  • Analogue: Ancient Persian.
  • Status: The language of the ancient Rostramian Empire, once a rival to ancient Fu Hsi, ancient Hellenic, and Quitalan. Used by institutions of Hormazianism. Not significantly different from New Rostramian.
• Old Hellenic
  
  • Analogue: Ancient Greek.
  • Status: The language of philosophy, classical literature, fundamental sciences, and high rhetoric. Particularly revered in the Hellenic League.
• Ancient Khemetan
  
  • Analogue: Ancient Egyptian.
  • Status: The classical language of ancient Osyrus. Studied by historians, archaeologists, and scholars of the occult.
• Xolotlian (The Black Tongue)
  
  • Analogue: A language isolate with distant, perplexing similarities to Ozymandian. Fills the niche of Aztecan.
  • Status: The language of the ancient and once feared Xolotl Empire. A major puzzle for linguists due to its geographic separation from its Ozymandian Mistralian homeland.
• Ozymandian
  
  • Analogue: Ancient Hebrew/Aramaic.
  • Status: An ancient precursor language, the lingua franca of the era before the Shattering of the Moon. The language of the oldest texts, secret knowledge, and some mystical cults, as well as the language of old Tablebreaker Church's texts and liturgy.

II. CONTINENT OF SANUS
1. Languages of United Nations of Vale (Sanusian-Quitalan Language Family).
These languages evolved from a mixture of Old Quitalian with the languages of Sanus' indigenous peoples. Thus, it's called the Sanusian-Quitalan Language Family.
Major Languages:

• Valesh:
  
  • Analogue: Romansh/Old French.
  • Status: The historical language of the Vale-proper region. Nearly extinct, preserved in toponymy, isolated dialects of mountain villages, and as an academic subject.
• Gallian:
  
  • Analogue: French.
  • Status: The official language of the New Republic of Gallia within Vale. Widely spoken.
• Nova Quitalian:
  
  • Analogue: Italian.
  • Status: The official language of the Republic of Nova Quitalia within Vale. Widely spoken both at home and in diasporas.
• Allomenian Language Group
  
  • Analogue: Germanic language family (Continental and Northern branches).
  • Status: A widespread group of closely related languages and dialects spoken across multiple continents, primarily in Atlas' Midgard and the Sanusian sub-kingdom of Arminus, with an isolated northern branch in Anima's Jotunheim. While sharing a common ancestor, the dialects have diverged significantly due to geographical separation and cultural influences, forming a dialect continuum where mutual intelligibility varies.
• Major Dialects/Branches:
  
  • Midgardian Allomenian (Standard/High Allomenian):
    
    • Analogue: Standard German (Northern/High German).
    • Status: The official, prestige dialect of the Republic of Midgard in Atlas. Considered the most conservative and "pure" form of the language. It is the language of business, heavy industry, engineering, and corporate culture within the Atlas Federation.
  • Arminian Allomenian (Western Allomenian):
    
    • Analogue: Rhine Franconian German dialects with strong French (Gallian) influence.
    • Status: The language of the sub-kingdom of the Federal Republic of Arminus in Vale, Sanus. A distinct dialect characterized by significant lexical and phonetic borrowings from neighboring Gallian and the pervasive Vytalian, making it sound notably different from its Midgardian counterpart.
  • Niederung Dialect (Lowland Allomenian):
    
    • Analogue: Dutch/Low German.
    • Status: A distinct dialect spoken in the Archduchy of Niederung (South-Western Vale, Eastern Sanus) , known for its phonetics and grammar that mark it as a separate, yet related, branch of the Western Allomenian group.
  • Jotunheimian Allomenian (Northern Allomenian):
    
    • Analogue: Scandinavian languages (Norwegian/Swedish).
    • Status: The language of the Jotunheim Commonwealth in northern Anima. Represents a divergent northern branch of the family, having evolved in isolation. Its phonology and vocabulary show distinct development, though its grammatical core remains recognizably Allomenian.

2. Languages of United Kingdom of Vacuo
These languages can be divided into 2 groups - native to Vacuo, like Chaacan and Khemetan, and of the Sanusian-Quitalian family, an influence of the various empires of Eastern Sanus from Quitalan to Gallian over the region.

• Hispanian
  
  • Analogue: Spanish.
  • Status: The official language of the sub-kingdom of Hispania within Vacuo. The most prominent language in Vacuo.
• Lousitanian
  
  • Analogue: Portuguese.
  • Status: A prominent language in Western Vacuo, spoken in the coastal Republic of Lousitania, which was able to resist foreign invaders largely thanks to mountainous terrain.
• Modern Khemetan
  
  • Analogue: Modern Egyptian Arabic (with ancient Semitic, Hellenic, and indigenous substrata).
  • Status: The official language of the Kingdom of Osyrus. A modern evolution of the ancient language, distinct from its classical form.
• Anansian
  
  • Analogue: A distinct dialect of Modern Khemetan.
  • Status: The language of the nation of Anansi, which adopted and adapted Osyrian culture and language. Features unique innovations and a prestigious "royal" dialect with Ozymandian influences. Influenced by African and Semitic languages.
• Chaacan
  
  • Analogue: Mix of Mayan languages and Hispanian.
  • Status: A major indigenous language of southern Vacuo, spoken in several sovereign communities and city-states.

III. CONTINENT OF SOLITAS – ATLAS
The continent of Solitas is home to nations that are both descendants of its indigenous inhabitants and colonists from over the world, which reflects the lingual map too.

• "The Big Three" of Atlas:
  
  • Knowledge of these three languages is a mark of good education and social status in the Federation.
  • Vytalian: Mandatory first language.
  • Allomenian – Midgardian Dialect (see above).
  • Indrikian:
    
    • Analogue: Russian.
    • Status: The official language of the Republic of Indrik. The historical primary language of the Mantlean Empire. The language of state bureaucracy, military tradition ("the old guard"), and high culture. Contains internal dialects - Ozeryanian (analogue of Southern Russian), Rechnyanian (the model pronunciation) and Moryanian (analogue of St. Petersburg).

• Hyperborean: A mix of Spanish and Latin with local specifics. The language of the Republic of Hyperborea.

IV. CONTINENT OF ANIMA – MISTRAL
The continent of Anima, where officially the People's Imperial Kingdom of Mistral stands, is home to an amalgamation of languages of different linguistic groups, to some extent, reflecting the ancient tug-of-war between three centers of power in Anima - North-Western Hellenic sphere, central Mistralian Fu Hsi sphere and South-Eastern Rostramian sphere, with an addition of other languages.

1. Fu Hsi Language Group

• Analogue: Chinese language group.
• Status: A large group of related languages/dialects dominating Imperial Mistral. Provincial dialects (e.g., Zhang Fei, Kongming, Cao Cao) can have limited mutual intelligibility. Standard Literary Fu Hsi is used for official and educational purposes.

2. Hellenic Group

  • Analogue: Modern Greek.
  • Status: The official language of the Hellenic League (Argus, etc.). The language of maritime trade in northern Anima.

• Menagerian: The primary dialect of Vytalian (see above).
• Numerous local languages and dialects of indigenous faunus tribes and communities, many of which are endangered.

Today I learned AJT uses a light theme on QQ.

I fixed it. I think. Now? Any thoughts on the content and not the shitty formatting issues that always plague copy and pasting things between forums?

I don't know how to tell you this Andrew but you almost nailed the hue of the reading background of the Blackened theme for QQ.

It's honestly impressive.


If you're copy pasting from word the best advice would be to paste without formatting(ctrl + shift + v) but that would remove your bullet points, bolds etc.

I'll paste the screen capture after the Line.

It's really descriptive. I like that.

I'll have to read it once or twice more to catch everything, Scrolling up and down to remember what the terms are referring to is a bit of a drag but nothing to worry about.

I would say that the classification of Pandavan for major Indian sub-continent languages makes it a bit..... How should I put this?

There are 22 major languages that are recognised by the government.

And about 15 different scripts for these, so it's not that many languages share a common phonetic or writing system.

So, Trying to condense them all under a Pandavan common system? Damn, they must be paying their Language Experts really good over there.

I am tempted, sooo tempted, to write an Arc Clan bit where Rick O'Connell is a distant relation of the Arcs. It would fit rather well-Rick has a tendency to get into trouble and improvise his way through fights he has no business winning.

Hell, you could just have Nick and Isabel have gotten into archaeological misadventures.

And that latter sounds hilariously terrible. I love it.

-Blake accidentally frees an ancient faunus entombed alone in a hellish prison, no doubt a poor soul enslaved by his human oppressors because of his looks!

"Ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra, the Ever-Living!"

-Yang gets a bit too much gold in her eyes when she comes into possession of a priceless ancient Vacuoan slab.

"Return the slab, or suffer my wrath..."
"WHAT'S YER OFFER?!"

-Trapped in a pyramid, teams JNPR and RWBY try to find a way out while being stalked by the mummies of ancient faunus queens. 'Mummy' in the sense that they're undead wearing funeral wraps, because there are pornos with less obscene glistening, sweaty, polished bouncing.

Mortifyingly enough, some of them look a lot like the female members of both teams.

NPR would probably do pretty well. Let's be honest Nora and ren probably picked up a wide assortment of random skills living on their own. Pyhra may not be skilled at Rodeo, but she's talented in a lot of fields that might help. More importantly she's competitive enough to drive herself to excellence. Now as for team RWBY, it's going to end interestingly. Ruby might know how to ride a horse but she does not have the physical strength to ride rodeo. Yang might, depending how you want to have the town of patch written as. Weis is going to fly. Blake wouldn't do it.

Let's go with a different interpretation of Raven: She does care about Yang and her family, but she had to go into a deep cover mission, to be a double agent to make Salem think she was a sword for hire as part of Ozpin's plans. How would that change things?

Well first off Yang we'll find out that her mother left her because she loved her family and wanted to keep them safe. Though Yang is definitely going to deck Oz. Once I get to Mistral while chasing Cinder, things are going to change. For one Weiss this going to have a very different treatment while under Raven's care. Raven is probably going to fight harder to deal with cinder because the crazy bitch try to get a lot of people killed, including yang. This is probably going to end up with Raven killing cinder. Probably team up with everyone else, try and get to know her daughter. If she understands Yang in any amount she's going to accept that Yang is going to hit her in the face at least once. Probably fight things out and then try and actually an establish a relationship from there. Also Raven is definitely going to try and hunt down Adam and nail him to a post.

A.J.: I don't mean to be rude but is your friend okay?
Jaune: Oh, Nora? Yeah, she's fine.
Nora: trying to drink an entire barrel of cider.

I don't see anything but sadness coming from this. Winter and wise actively hate their father. Willow has long since given up on her husband. The only one who might actually accept the new Jacques Schnee is whiteley. He just wants some familial affection, he's not picky. On top of that new Mr schnee still has all the enemies that his old self left him. Not to say it wouldn't be an interesting story, but it definitely would be a somber one in the long run.

I am the witch with the answers you seek
Time, I've unlocked it
I see past and future running free
There is a world where my death helps you get home
But that's not a world I know

RAVEN:
What?

SALEM:
I see a song of past romance
I see the sacrifice of man
I see portrayals of betrayal
And a brother's final stand
I see you on the brink of death
I see you draw your final breath
I see a woman who gets to make it home alive
But it's no longer you

RAVEN
This can't be
I've suffered and slain through the toughest of Grimm
Now you tell me my effort's for nothing?!

SALEM
I see your homestead covered in red
Faces of those who had long believed you're dead
I see your daughter with a woman who is haunting
A woman with a trail of bodies

RAVEN
WHO?!

I see the sacrifice of man
I see portrayals of betrayal
And a brother's final stand
I see you on the brink of death
I see you draw your final breath
I see a woman who gets to make it home alive
But it's no longer you

The Sutra of Shinichi Suzuki on Looking Deeply into the Grimm

Thus have I heard.

At one time, in the ancient grove of Pandu, beneath the bodhi tree of awakening, the Blessed One, the Awakened Teacher of the Path, sat in mindful stillness with a gathering of monks, nuns, and lay followers from the lands of Mistral. The air was fragrant with lotus and incense, and the community breathed together in harmony.

A young warrior from Mistral, whose heart was heavy with fear and anger toward the dark beings called Grimm, bowed deeply and spoke: "Venerable Teacher, these Grimm arise without cause we can see, drawn to our suffering, our hatred, our despair. They bring destruction to villages and kingdoms. How can we understand their true nature? How can we live without fear in their presence?"

The Blessed One looked upon the warrior with eyes of boundless compassion and said:

"Dear friend, breathe mindfully with me. In this breath, there is peace. Out this breath, there is release.

The Grimm you speak of are not separate enemies born from some outer darkness. They are manifestations of the mind, born from the seeds of affliction we water in ourselves and in one another. Look deeply: hatred, fear, ignorance, craving—these are the nourishment that calls the Grimm forth. When a heart is filled with anger, the Grimm gather like clouds before rain. When a village is torn by division, the shadows thicken.

Yet the Grimm have no true self-nature. They arise from conditions, and when conditions cease, they dissolve. This is the teaching of interdependent co-arising: nothing exists independently. The Grimm and we inter-are. They are made of our unmindful thoughts, words, and actions. To strike at the Grimm with only weapons of iron is to strike at clouds with a sword. The clouds return.

Dear friends, do not hate the Grimm. To hate them is to water the very seeds that give them form. Instead, come home to your breathing. Touch the wonder of being alive in this moment. When you sit in mindfulness, when you walk with gentle steps upon the earth, when you look upon another being—human or Faunus—with eyes of understanding and love, you water seeds of joy, compassion, and peace. These seeds grow strong, and the Grimm find no foothold.

I have seen warriors whose Aura shines brightly not because they train only the body, but because they train the heart. Their presence alone calms the storm of negative energy. The Grimm sense this light and retreat, like mist before the morning sun.

Practice the Noble Eightfold Path, dear ones:

Right View: seeing that the Grimm and I inter-are, that destruction and peace are not two.

Right Thinking: watering seeds of understanding rather than seeds of violence.

Right Speech: speaking words that heal division and awaken joy.

Right Action: acting with gentleness, protecting life without creating more suffering.

Right Livelihood: living simply, not exploiting others or the earth.

Right Effort: diligently watering wholesome seeds in the garden of the mind.

Right Mindfulness: dwelling fully in the present moment, touching life deeply.

Right Concentration: resting in the stillness where true strength arises.

When you practice thus, the Grimm lose their power. They are transformed—not by force, but by the miracle of awareness.

In the kingdom of Mistral, where old wounds and new fears dwell together, practice looking deeply. See the suffering in the one who acts with cruelty. Offer understanding. Offer compassion. This is the true protection.

There is no birth and no death for the energy of affliction. It only transforms. When we transform fear into understanding, hatred into love, the Grimm dissolve into the ground of no-coming, no-going.

Dear friends, smile to the Grimm within and without. They are our teachers, showing us where we have forgotten our true home. Return to your breathing. Return to your steps. The Path is here, now.

Peace is possible in every step."

The warrior bowed deeply, tears of relief upon his cheeks. The community sat in silence, breathing together, and in that moment the grove was filled with light.

This sutra was spoken by the Awakened Teacher in Pandu and carried across the mountains to Mistral, where it continues to be recited by those who walk the
Path of mindful peace.

May all beings be free from fear.

May all beings touch deep understanding.

May all beings dwell in the heart of compassion.

Namo Pathaya.

Cognitive dissonance. She'd take it upon herself to explain to him how and why he's really the one oppressing them.

Likely at a very inopportune time.
