Hanzeizh

“Culture is what defines a people, without it we are nothing but squabbling states united merely by ideology; ideology changes on the emotions, culture however follows with us all.” Loic dem Spheniscidae speaking with Breton Salvay during the Constitutional Convention. Hanzeizh is both referring to the culture and language of the Viodoxan people in Adytum and of the government. The language is related to Paloran yet differs greatly in grammar. It utilizes a vast amount of loan words from older languages such as Nieden. Meanwhile, the cultural aesthetic is often described as both oriental and byzantine in complex building structure and art. Hanzeizh was formally documented first by Loic dem Spheniscidae who promoted it to the Viodoxan populace.

Origin
The earliest documented instance of Hanzeizh goes back to February during the Valentine Migration and the Emerald Conflict. The deviation from Paloran language created a dialect that used different verbs and shortened much of hte pronunciation. Overtime, many slang words and loaned words from Soleannen were used during the conversion of Adytum by the Escharian Spirits. Most of the most complex words are loaned from Soleannen religion and Nieden language. As time passed however, Hanzeizh began to form its own distinct language similar to the Kumuuran language. It began to mold with the native pronunciation and speech of Cymru and became distinct for it's slurred-snakelike words. Hanzeizh never used a different writing script as Loic hoped to retain national unity by making formal Hanzeizh easy to learn. Richard dem Spheniscidae, Borakan dem Spheniscidae, and Heinrich val Oberstein, relatives of Loic began to promote the language and assisted in formalizing much of the syntax. This change allowed for it to be spoken with ease especially with the addition of explicit accents.

The greatest breakthrough was when Richard and Loic created the phonetic map of the language which most other languages had yet to complete. It was then easily learned by many high-ranking members who began to use it in simple speeches and during national praise. After the national anthem was established Hanzeizh became a symbol of Viodoxan pride and unity still being used to this day.

Language
The language is a Paloran-Havenite language which descended from the original Paloran language of central Haven. The language is originally spoken in Northern Cymru in the province of Adytum. It comprises of 24 Consonants and 10 Vowels. It is considered quite easy to speak as the language lacks forced tenses thus making it easy for people with basic conversational skills to speak with ease. Often times words can even be made up from affixes and still be comprehendible.

Subgroups

 * Adytum Hanzeizh - the original group of Hanzeizh people. It's roots traces back to the old Paloro, when Loic leaded his people to the Viodoxa during Valentine Exodus. Adymites mainly inhabit province of Adytum and are most prominent in the cities such as Viodoxa and Valentum.
 * Doiran Hanzeizh - nowadays now near-extinct group of Hanzeizh people that previously lived in the former province of Hireathium, on southeastern Cymru. The denonym "Doiran" comes from the short-lived successor state of Hireathium officially called Ashannate of Doiro, that was thriving under the government of Imperial Archonal Union. After the collapse of IAU, Doiro was annexed by the Kartek influenced warlike State of Confusion & Ainsel, which later reformed into the Aeternum Order. Since then, local culture of Hanzeizh started to decline, eventually resulting in the abandoment of the Hireathium city. Because of the expansion of Requiem knight order, a new city, called Nibelungen was founded on the old ruins of Hireathium, thus marking the fall of Doiran culture.
