	Kerno - IBWiki
		Most of the blame can be honestly laid on the Language Boards -- those august bodies of the XIX and XX centuries that were charged with choosing a standard dialect and formulating a standardised orthogrpahy and grammar.
		It is kind of funny in that the language of the colonies is basically Kerno with considerable sprinklings of French, Brithenig and English, while the language of the motherland that sent them out into the world is basically Brithenig with liberal sprinklings of Kerno and French.
		Kerno has all the advantages of being the historical language of a once independent kingdom and now semi-autonomous province of a major power that speaks a related language, and also has a sizeable literature spanning many centuries.

		Old French is one of the earliest attested Romance languages and offers a fascinating field for research in historical linguistics: not only are many of its changes attested in texts, but its linguistic ancestor, Latin, is richly documented as well.
		These two events reflect the awareness of the speakers of the day that (1) the Gallo-Romance they spoke was a language separate and different from Latin, and (2) Gallo-Romance was a language different from German.
		Consequently the language of the 14th and 15th centuries is typically referred to as Middle French.

	Re: [Ltru] Re: [psg.com #1011] add suppress-region
		It may be a matter of context whether Chadian Spoken Arabic ('shu') is a separate language or just part of the Arabic macro-language; it's uncontroversial that it's Arabic and not (say) Chinese, so "zh-shu" can be ruled out as invalid.
		Similarly, the Auvergnat language is encompassed by the Occitan macrolanguage, so in 3066ter-speak it would be designated "oc-auv".
		Then Auvergnat might become a macrolanguage within a macrolanguage, and the two newly recognized languages would be coded "oc-auv-avh" and "oc-auv-avx".
