Major language groups and dialects
Although there are several dialects spoken in the kingdome (see below) none of those are realy significant more important is that because Danerish has several different words and sentence structures to express the same idea different ways of speaking have emerged that are associated with the estates and classes of the realm. For example the nobles tend to choose longer words and sentences to express themself to illustrate thier literacy while farmers often use short and precise sentences that point directly at the topic and urban worker class uses words that are regarded as vulgar. The new urban middle class is seen to use the typical noble speak to distinguish themselfe from the other urban population and underline thier status.
The five main dialects of Danerish spoken by Danerheimiens are:- Nyheimer Speak - 978.033 speaker
- Koppenerish - 836.237 speaker
- Lolladish - 827.012 speaker
- Lunter Dialect - 42.809 speaker
- Old Havener speak - 40.619 speaker
Shared customary codes and values
Common Customs, traditions and rituals
Children from wealthy families are also sent to school at the age of twelve. All of Danerheim's schools are boarding schools where children are taught for 2 hours in math, 2 hours in Danerheimien folk (reading and prose) and 4 hours of sports per day. When these children reach the age of 16, they often go directly to the military or to the Royal University of Koppen-Haven.
Common Myths and Legends
The Danerheimien islands have many old folk tales and myths that all take place around -200 to the end of the year 500 and are centered around the creation of the islands, the Danerheimien people and thier fights against the Juten and ancient monster. Without doubt the most famous and important tale is that of Hendre the First a half historical half mythological figure who is believed to have given birth to the first Danerheimiens. Agu Hydre has collected dozens of tales and stories about Hendre and has written them down in his Song of Hendre. The book tells a romanticized version of Hendres life with many stories written between that are pure fiction but the book has become a national treasure and some of the more famous stories like Hendres fight against the dragon or the tragedy around his first born son have been reinterpreted countless times in theater, opera and other art forms.
