Trunduki language

The Trunduki language is the national language of Trunduk, a fictional island nation from the Rinnarverse.

## Alphabetical order

The Trunduki alphabet in eastern and Indonesian Trunduk is an abugida derived from Pallava. Indonesian Trunduki is written with a more cursive script, while eastern Trunduki is written in a more block-like script.

## Dialects

In Trunduk, or at least the eastern half of the island, there are six to eight dialects. The Yatolyanoi dialect is the national dialect of Trunduk, and it comes in two registers: common or native, and Sanskrit-based. The Sanskrit register of Trunduki is considered formal, but the native register is the official register.

The northwesterly Panyunta dialect is heavily Sanskritised. The Naruhoni dialect of the northeast coast is influenced by Hindi, and is considered very vulgar and uncouth, compared to the Sanskritised register.

The two central republics of Trunduk were nearly-Westernised, that they would be sometimes considered Portuguese (Kaigaliki in the north) or English (Turunaki), due to their leaders' suppression of their native culture.

Indonesian Trunduk (Mangkalaki) is closer to Bahasa Indonesia and Balinese, while Australian Trunduk (Yetaweki) has become an entirely different language with English influence.

## Names

It is a common practice for Trundukis to create unique names for different countries. When requests by other nations to use their names were denied, other nations asked the Trundukis to use more pleasant names instead of offensive ones.

Many of the pejorative terms for various countries, especially European colonial empires, were from their wars against Trunduk. The nationalist government of Trunduk remains at war with most of these powers to this day, so these terms are still in use.

* Asetru, Asotru - Asatru, Norse religion
* Aurasa - Aurangzeb, "Satan", "antichrist", tyrant
* Baliyomak - Bali
* Bangladesa - Bangladesh
	+ From the Bangladeshi Liberation War onwards, Bangladesh is treated with the same respect as with India. The Bangladeshi delegation of 1973 were the first Muslims to walk into Trunduk in nearly 20 years, and even then, they were treated like heroes for their victory over Pakistani rule.
	+ After much debates with its Hindu politicians, the government of Trunduk agreed to establish relations with Bangladesh, making it the first Muslim nation to have relations with Trunduk. Over time, its people became among the few Muslims who were openly accepted as friends.
	+ Bangladeshi Hindus were given the same easy access to Trunduk as soon as their country became independent, leading to protests in Bangladesh. One week later, the same access was extended to all Bangladeshi citizens, so Bangladeshis were among the few Muslims and Christians permitted within Trunduk. However, only Hindus were allowed to immigrate to Trunduk.

* Baranja (from "farangi") - Europe

	+ Because of the massacres of Hindus in Goa, any Portuguese ship that arrived in Trunduk was shot. Nonetheless, the Portuguese conquered parts of central Trunduk, creating the Christian portion that is at war with the main Trunduki government. It also led to the Portuguese language being banned in Trunduk.
