Gilnean (Language)

Gilnean is a language that cropped up in the Kingdom of Gilneas that is heavily derived from Common. Using the exact same words as common, Gilnean is a rhyming sort of dialect that replaces words with similar sounding ones. While some have questioned if Gilnean is a true language in comparison to others, it is classified as one for the sake of organization. It is common among the lower class and farming communities; though it had a specific permanence in Gilneas City.

Gilnean has also been referred to as Cockney.

History
Prior to conquering by the Empire of Arathor, Gilneans did not speak this language as one might think. The language of Galui flowed through the region. After the War of Thorns and the Second War of Thorns however, Galui's usage died down immensely, only mainly used by deeply pagan families or the Wickers.

Gilnean cropped up in about 800 F.A. when industrialization started its first steps in the kingdom. While it would not catch on until much later under Haerord Greymane II, it found its roots exclusively in the kingdom's lower class.

Note
Gilnean in game, used by Foxy Topper and once the worgen language in Beta, is literally just cockney.
