!!!! that's so cool, i never knew about the dialects!!!! ugh what a cool detail.

and yeah it is interesting thinking about the cuy'val dar, especially how it may add to the kind of fading of it among clones? cause if one group is taught a specific regional flavour of mando'a/mandalorian customs, then they'll try to pass that down to the next generation. however, at the same time you have a different group of clones learning a different flavour and trying to have THAT live on, which, while sustainable in large populations, i think would just become confusing among the (relatively) small groups of clones and, like you said, the familiar dialect would just die out as it distills into a kind of base understanding that all the clones can relate to, not matter what they were taught.

its also just *head in hands* so difficult to untangle canon from non-canon, especially when the canon text seems to support both?? like are the clone trainers in clone cadets there as a nod towards the cuy'val dar? or are they their replacements after their contracts expire? or are we just not shown any mandalorian trainers?? tcw doesnt give us much indication either way and it's so frustrating dhshsja

I mean we’d have to assume jango still taught them some mando stuff considering clones like Rex & Fordo were awarded with jaig eyes for their exploits. You can always argue that fordo is legends so he doesn’t count but Rex is still right there wearing em.

oh yeah yeah!!! definitely, im not denying that. i am wholly on board with jangos influence on rex and the others. what im interested in is how mando cultural influence persists through the different generations of clones. like, once jango is gone, does it kind of fade away? especially as the older clones die and are replaced by shinies who only know jango fett by name? is it an instant indicator of the age of a clone if he refers to other clones as "vod" and not "brother"? does mando'a become something associated with those higher up the chain of command, because they most likely were trained by him? obviously theres some fuckey stuff to consider with how many clones actually grew up post-jango's death, but i still like to think about it
