Pedian language

The **Pedian language** (Pedian: Лӣнга пидӣя *Līnga pidīja*) is a language with 20,432 speakers that was formerly spoken by Pedians all over the country, but is now only spoken in parts of northern Pedia. It is usually written using the Cyrillic script, due to the fact that Russia had colonized parts of northern Pedia. Sometimes, it is written with the Latin script. The weeaboo dialect is usually written with Katakana.

When Colham High School teach it on Pedian Language Day, Harry Smith describes the language as "a load of gibberish". However, he sometimes insults people in Pedian. A Pedian version of Lohipedia was launched in 2007 - Harry has vandalised it many times. The less obvious vandalism has often went unnoticed.
