Academic paper on Language in Micronations

[Thomas Hanzi]

Hello and hi to everyone who cares to read this!

My real life name is Thomas, I'm from Switzerland, and I am at the moment writing an academic paper on Language Planning and Language Problems in Micronations.

This is maybe already the most important thing to know about me because I am not about to become a citizen here, I am only on a research mission.

As one of very few micronations I know of who develop and cultivate their own language, the Kingdom of Talossa could turn out to be very interesting for my paper. However, I have no idea if you are ready to help me and how far you can or want to go in doing so.

Clearly I canot quote anything from the forum except I receive permission to do so from every person involved in the topic and from the owners of the forum. That is already written in the paper and I can do without direct quotations from the forum, that is not a problem.

However, I need to ask questions and receive answers from as many people as possible so that I can develop my theory.

I hope that you will help me out and am looking forward to communicating with you all!

Greets from sunny Switzerland, Thomas alias "TiAnO"

Hi, Thomas!

As president of the CUG (Committee for the Use of the Talossan Language), I'd be glad to help.

Hello Xhorxh Asmour,

Thank you for your offer which I will gladly accept.

However, some of my questions should also go to the wide public of the Kingdom of Talossa. How do I best reach them?

[Xhorxh Asmour]

By posting here in the Chat Room subforum, not in the Glhetg subforum. People can see you and respond to you better there.

Tiano- off topic question- Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

To reïterate what Xhorxh said- if you have a general, non-specific question, use the Chat Room subforum, if you have a question pertaining soley to the Kingdom (structure, culture, etc.) use the Wittenberg subforum, and if you have a question pertaining only to the language, use this, the Glhetg subforum.

Thank you for your answers:

- I will contact the "broad public" in the Chat-Forum.

- Ja, ich bin Schweizer und spreche Deutsch als Muttersprache.

- I contacted Xhorxh by Email and have already received some answers, so this thread will now only be used for language specific questions which Xhorxh should not answer alone.
