"Let's move to Mermish, what do you think are some reasons or ways that the Mermish language might differ in different parts of the world?"
Alyssa spent some time thinking about the reasons and the ways that the Mermish language might differ in different parts of the world. Not knowing the language and having not heard anyone speak it, Alyssa decided to just hazard a guess.
Raising her hand, she gave the only possible answer she knew. "
Sir, I was wondering that maybe it isn't the Mermish language that is different. That maybe it is the same around the world."
Alyssa paused to think of a way to make what she said more understandable. "
It may sound different in various parts of the world because the non-merpeople who speak it have an accent of their own and so they would pronounce certain words differently."
"
Or it could be like the muggle languages. It's the same everywhere but depending on the region it was spoken, there would be changes because they might use certain slang words only specific to that region."
Okay that was definitely a BIG GUESS.
