#IDKKKK I feel so passionate abt this because it feels close to home and I find the mixing of language so fascinating

I have zero ideas of substance for this but I’m absolutely nerding out over the potential linguistics in the grand line

Just imagine how many different regional accents, pidgins, and creoles there are; especially in popular port islands like Loguetown and Sabaody. Each island (and the blues) must have different languages, if they’re so diverse environmentally/culturally

Do the celestial dragons have their own language that they speak to differentiate themselves from the common people? Or do they force everyone to learn it, and establish it as the standard?

Are all grand line languages derived from what was mutually spoken by the founding 20? Did the founding 20 need to develop a new pidgin to understand each other?

The job market demand for translators across the grand line must be high….
