Vancor language (VAN-core)

Vancor, the Vincaran language spoken today, is a conglomeration of several original dialects. As Lanarian disease greatly reduced Vincaran population and Lanarian rulers discouraged the use of other languages, the survivors began to rely on a pidgin tongue that was understandable to all. Even today, many Vincarans speak Lanarish language in their day-to-day lives and only use Vancor for religious and ceremonial purposes.
One feature that has lasted through all iterations of the language is the idea that palindromes are sacred or lucky in some way. It is not a coincidence that the only god in the Vancorran pantheon whose name is not a palindrome is Telik, the god of war, vengeance and discord. Place names are often palindromes, as well (see Kalorolak, Ozazo, Iremeri and Kevavek.)
