Often in Korathasesu, many of the words vital to a heated situation are very lengthy. These words are very unsuited to the fast pace of battle, and over time several clans developed popular systems for shortening the words. Korathasesu scholars often attribute the presence of battle speeches, which varied wildly between clans, as the main reason Korathasesu itself was remarkably standard amongst clans. Since a clan’s battle speech would be the most frequently used form of communications, it became specialized to the clan. However, Korathasesu could be used between clans for communication, for occasions when a new member wished to join, or on the rare occasions when a trade deal was made. While almost all Korathae take pride in knowing standard Korathasesu, Korathae historically have been fond of the diversity of their battle speeches. battle speech is not for most daily words; most battle speech vocabularies are very limited.
Many of these forms of battle speech, known as aliikon in Korathasesu, gained popularity during their time periods. The most famous of the include…
Keseneva: A comparatively strict and comprehensive form of battle speech spoken in Korath and other Kesevana settlements. Aliikon take keseneva is still used today as a shorthand in many regions or as a casual speech in certain ones.
Kuby: A purposed driven speech with strengths in clear rules for reducing words. Effective at reducing words without complex strategies. Many forms of Kuby evolved naturally; these usually have little to no minor variations and are classified as aliikon take kuby take OTHER DIALECT. Kuby battle speech refers to the main tenets of Kuby-class battle speeches.
Tikonamary: A strange battle speech spoken exclusively in the Eastern reaches of the main continent. Its main weakness is its complexity; it is almost another language. Its strength is its indecipherability. Outsides very rarely understand Tikonamary unless they were raise with it. Scholars argue to classify Tikonamary as its own language; however, it’s vocabulary nowhere near close enough to be classified as a full-fledged language on Iiveaktei.
Meriis: A obsolete battle dialect that was very popular in the beginning of the Second Age, of Malit. It is known for the softer sounds and odd pronunciation that made it a very good sneaking language.
Nok tok: Little is known about nok tok, except that it enjoyed significant attention in the middle of the First Age, of Fasafiin thanks to the spread of ferocious clan Nothok, and that it was very difficult to learn.
Korsu: A more modern Battle Speech used less for battle and more for easy and casual daily interactions. It does not focus on battle words, but instead on most Korathasesu root words over 5 syllables, and all over 7. While very easy to learn, it does create some confusion with similar words. Created very recently, it has spread rapidly and spawned other modern ‘battle’ speeches.
