Gao-Showa (language)

plz don't link this to anything I'm just throwing stuff down atm thanks Big-G

A confusion for some may lie in the fact that Gao-Showa apparently means both Blessed People and Blessed Language. This is caused by the use of the sufix Showa which would appear to mean people. In this way people from Gao-Soto are called Gao-Showa, people from Kazulia (Kasu-Soto) are called Kasu-Showa. A simple swap occurs between the sufix Soto (land/nation) and the sufix Showa. This however mistakes a part of Gao-Showa culture in which a person or group is defined by what language they speak rather than any other factor. The true meaning of "Gao-Showa" is "These people speak the Blessed language". This is the same for all ethnic adjectives. The word for kazulian is Kasu-Showa meaning "These people speak the Kasu (Kazul) language" the word for Hulstrians is Hurusu-Showa meaning "These people speak the Hurusu (Hulstrian) language". So whereas to an english speaker Showa appears to have two meaning to a Gao-Showa it only has one.
