Tungmal

Tungmal (translated "language"; pronounced ˈtuŋˌmaːl / toong-mal) is the main language spoken in Høvemark/Hófasviði. It was used together with Altsprech before the War of Dignity, then Altsprech was forcefully made the primary language. After the liberation of Lanborg, with the establishment of the Commonwealth, Altsprech was banned and remained in the dark past. Tungmal is comparable to Icelandic from real life.

Lore

When Lanborg as first established, old Tungmal was present, yet was spoken by very few families. Altsprech was spoken more frequently, with the city then having the name Lannburg (Altsprech) at the time, Altsprech was considered vital and more increasingly dying out, as other castles were abandoned. As trade grew due to Lanborg's port status over the next hundreds of Ð, old Åranian and similar northern languages were increasingly more important and more and more settlers came from those lands. This created a mix of languages, as Altsprech was famously difficult to learn, creating a language barrier, which made Lanborg lose lots of money.
New settlers had an easier time learning Tungmal, as some parts were mutually intelligible, making Tungmal a "language of trade and progress" and Altsprech "a language of times gone". This made Altsprech slowly turn irrelevant and Tungmal becoming the main language. This was also when Grantorvet was colonised by the Lanborg Empire, spreading Tungmal into Thorildhøj.
When Ari II came to reign, he wanted to make Lanborgians proud of their "independent language". Ari II stopped teaching Tungmal in schools and only allowed Altsprech to be in official signs and documents.

Today

Today, the language is the most common one inside Høvemark/Hófasviði, and has its capitol in Lanborg. Outside of Lanborg, yet inside of Høvemark/Hófasviði, Tungmal is less popular, but always learned in school. This is due to Høvemark/Hófasviði high indeginous population, which preffer to communicate on languages similar to Occitan within their household, even though they are completely capable of Tungmal.
