YOU KNOW WHAT?!! TAKE SOME MINOR MYSTIQUE TALES LORE!!
—Each of the four kingdoms have old native languages that are similar to real life languages.
—For example, Clover’s native tongue is Ancient Greek, and it was originally the native language the Walker family talked in up until the 18th Great Wizard’s era their native speakers were getting murdered during altercations with the slivamilions which led to less native speakers existing and instead they took the language the silvamilions spoke in and made it their own with some altering to make it sound like their native language. and after the peace treaty between the Silvamilions and the Walkers happened, the Walkers who could still speak the language taught the Silvamilions the new language and their native language became a secret language in which the Great Wizards’ old diaries were written and stored for future generations, Ramilia speaks it fluently but Noelle has trouble speaking in it but understands it fully when reading old Scriptures or hearing her mother talk in it. (The Silvas also have some understanding of it, but it’s the alternated version the Walkers taught to the Silvamilions)
—the Spade and Diamond kingdoms have similar native language which is Gaelic, but for Spade it’s the Irish Gaelic and for Diamond it’s the Scottish Gaelic. In present day You would find no one who still speaks the native Language in diamond, however in spade there’s a heavy population who only speak in their native language, and the majority of the people understand it even if they don’t speak it.
—in The Heart Kingdom, the native language is ancient Latin, and only the Royal family is able to still speak in it, the queen is always most fluent in the native tongue. Some spirit guardians would be taught the language as well (Gaja is fluent in the native tongue, he learned the old Language at a very young age when Loropechka was still learning it, she had great difficulty with it so Gaja learned it and spent countless hours talking only in old Latin to help Loro with her pronunciations.)
—Vanessa is fluent in Ancient Greek, she speaks it better than Ramilia actually. which surprises Noelle at first, but once she gets over her initial shock she becomes excited because this means she has a practice partner to talk with and improve her speech and pronunciation.
—when Noelle heard Vanessa speak in Greek for the first time she was so shocked but also excited because this was something for them to bond over.
—“you speak Greek too?!” She asked excitedly in Greek, which prompted Vanessa to glare at her because she had a really bad headache and Noelle was being too excited for her liking, and also cringe badly because Noelle had the most fucking horrible pronunciation she ever heard.
—“I mean this in a good way,” she began speaking in Greek “never, and I mean, never talk to me in the colonised version of the language”
—Vanessa makes it her absolute fucking mission to teach this fucking kid how to speak actual proper Greek, even if gives her too much headaches from how excitable Noelle is.
—most of the time they speak in Greek, the bulls look at them like they’re both gone crazy, and Noelle has some trouble understanding half of Vanessa’s words because she’s really fluent and half of the time she talks too fast for Noelle to catch everything she’s saying.
—Vanessa insults Noelle in Greek half of the time she tries to talk to her. Once Noelle becomes more fluent she realises that most of the time she spent talking with Vanessa she was basically getting insulted.
—Noelle later learned every insult in Greek after finding out what Vanessa did. She learned the really disturbing ones, which got her and Vanessa in trouble once Ramilia found out.
—Nozel somehow finds out that Vanessa knows Greek. And hell ensues.
—the first time it happend, it was after a joint Captains and their Vice-Captains meeting. She was talking to Ramilia about some stuff and she didn’t want anyone to butt in, and to her horror Nozel looked at her with a shocked and disgusted expression.
—“what in the world is that vile pronunciation!” He yelled at Vanessa, which had her replying in Greek with “oh please, if my dead grandmother heard the way you speak Greek, she would fuck the worms that feasted on her decayed corpse”
—Nozel insists that the way she speaks in is wrong, and Vanessa says that’s the way she was raised to speak in and to her it’s correct.
—the nail in the coffin is when she told him in Greek to “take your colonised version of the language, and shove it up your—“. eventually a few Years later, Nozel accepts that in fact, Vanessa is speaking in the accurate and correct language. And she’s much more fluent in it than him.
