Coalition Standard Huai

From Project AU

Coalition Standard Huai is the standardized variant of the Huai language spoken in the Coalition of Allied Star Systems. As Huai is a pluricentric language, its speakers spread out across political boundaries, the standardization of literary Huai became a priority for Charéan leaders when admitted into the Coalition following the Charé Conflict.

Coalition Standard Huai bears significant resemblance to Heavenly Huai spoken within Great Huai, but retains less archaic and religiously-charged terminology.
