Sitting down on the beanbag chair so he was more at their level now. "A language can have many different aspects to it, depending on where it's being spoken. Accents can change, words can be said differently. Location, atmosphere, the people, are all different ways that a language can change within itself."

"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?"


Yes, eleven, and Lottie just wanted the man to stick to English, otherwise she'd be utterly lost if he began explaining something in regards to Mermish. Do you reckon the Giant Squid speaks Mermish or understands it?

Regardless of her thoughts, Lottie managed to listen to everything the man said. Higareda, right? He had a very unusual name...Oh, yes! Let's move to Mermish! And quite possibly Swedish, once this seminar is over.

An eyebrow was raised at his question. Ze answer's in ze question. Or...not in the question, but what he said before it. "For the same reasons you just mentioned, Sir," she stated, raising her hand, "Especially underwater, the conditions are too different, from the surface to the depths. There are many barriers, land ones, that create different colonies...," of merpeople, and people in general, "...and they may be influenced by the outside world, which is even more different everywhere."

Oh, but wait, she was adding something else, "Clearly, the condition of the water has a lot to do with it, too." As in ocean-like versus lake-like.
