Culture of Pristinia

This page documents the culture of the Autonomous Socialist Republic of Pristinia and its two predecessors.

Pristinian calendar

The Pristinian calendar year begins in March. This is due to the fact that in March, Spring begins, that the leap day is added in February, and that "Sept-" as in "September" means seven or seventh, and with March as the beginning of the year September is actually the seventh month. The Pristinian week begins on Monday.

Weekdays

Pr. La. / Abbrev. / Engl. / Ger. / Fre.
Amaliadis / Ama / Monday / Montag / Lundi
Totatedis / Tot /Tuesday / Dienstag / Mardi
Hesodis / Hes / Wednesday / Mittwoch / Mercredi
Taranidis / Tar / Thursday / Donnerstag / Jeudi
Ansoticadis / Ans / Friday / Freitag / Vendredi

Contrarily to the fact that English days of the week take their name from mostly Germanic deities and the French ones from Roman deities, the Pristinian (or Pristinian Latin) ones take them from Celtic deities.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Vater unser der du bist im Himmel,
Geheiligt werde dein Name.
Dein Reich komme,
Dein Wille geschehe,
Wie im Himmel so auch auf Erden.
Gib uns unser täglich Brot,
Und vergib uns unsere Schulden,
So wie wir unseren Schuldigern vergeben,
Und führe uns nicht in Versuchung,
Sondern erlöse uns von dem Bösen.
Denn dein ist das Reich,
Und die Kraft, und die Herrlichkeit,
In Ewigkeit.
Amen.

Fattir unsir du best in Khemil,
Gekhaligt sei din Nahm.
Din Rekh kamm,
Din Vell k'sha,
Vi en Khemil zo of Ert.
Giff uns unze taglikh Brud,
Und farkib uns unze Skoldinne,
Zo vi mir varkib unze Skolderern,
Und fir uns net en Verzokung,
Zonte erlosh uns fonze Bosen.
Vall din es den Rekh,
Und ze Kraff, und ze Herrelkit,
Fur immar.
Amen.

Фaтиp yнcиp δy вεcт ин Xεмил,
