You've heard of creating alternate history about languages, but how about dialects, or even accents?
The challenge this thread contains is to create a dialect found in an alternate history of your design. Your format is:
Name
Language Family
Range
Influences/Divergences
History
Number of Speakers
I'll start you off with this:
Elniugatian Spanish
Language Family
Divergences/Influence - Influenced primarily by Miꞌkmaq as well as French and English. Another influence was the cold temperate climate of the country. For instance, soy is pronounced as joy.
History
The first spanish colonies were established in Elnugatia around 1504. During the Seven Years' War, the Mahigamigu Peninsula
(Estimated) Number of Speakers - 7.5 Million
