Adrianese language

Adrianese (lanwez eydrieng [lanweɪz eɪdrjeŋ]) is an influenced by Kagrash languages. It is primarily spoken in the Adrian Islands and the Kilaya island of Kanuzunda Islands, and is one of the Adrian Islands' official languages along with itself. According to a 2013 study, around 93% of the country's population spoke it as a first language, almost all by the native Adrianese.

Adrianese developed in the 19th century when British colonialists arrived in the Hokirai Kingdom. As most people in the British Adrian Islands start to integrate into British society and traditions, the Hokirai language, in which most Adrianese loanwords are derived from, steadily declined and is nowadays only spoken by 1,000 people. Adrianese replaced Hokirai as the majority language of the islands, and had remained ever since.

Adrianese grammar and structure is almost identical to English, with 20% of the language's grammar deriving from Hokirai and other Kagrash languages, namely Dajankagrash, Inkini, Caokwat, and Kayagarayan. All words are spelled according to the local pronunciation.

Unlike English, Adrianese is not regulated in Adrianese schools, and is usually taught in primary schools. It is the most widely spoken English-based creole in the Nesionytan Islands.
