Rodshya

Rodshya is the most widely spoken language in Trigunia. Rodshya is a Delic language related to Deltarian.

In the past, Rodshya used a derivative of the Tokundian alphabet but in the last several hundred years the language has experienced mass Latinization.

Dialects
There are three dialects of Rodshya spoken in Trigunia that are tied to the three main islands of the nation-state:


 * 1) The Tirgithye dialect is spoken on Tirgith and is considered the standard form of the language, despite the fact that the ancient city of Rodshyadam, where the language derived, is not located on the island. The dialect is harsher than the other two forms and tends to adhere to strict grammar and stresses proper accent usage. Since it is considered to be both standard and "accentless" this dialect is most widely used in news programming, television, and radio.
 * 2) The Dam dialect is spoken on the main island of Chadonia. It uses slightly different stresses and vocabulary inflections than does the Tirgithye dialect.
 * 3) The Novyii dialect is considered the "softest". It is found exclusively on the island of Itäsaari and has many Old Language words, phrases and accents on words. This dialect is the rarest of the three and is only spoken in rural areas of the island, however, in the more urbanized areas, the dialect has been mostly replaced by the Tirgithye dialect.

Romanization
Since the early 2900s, Trigunia has successfully reinvented itself as the definitive information technology, computer hardware, software contributor and processor to the world. In this attempt, the government pushed the usage of standard Latin letters to ease translation and better aid in the dissemination of information to clients. Because of this, very few people or areas of the country still adhere to the old Tokundian alphabet, although it is still widely seen in academic circles in order to study historical documents.
