Language

While the official language is technically South Carolina English, Spoken English in Stan contains many novel verbs like "natiate" (to work on one's micronation), the renaming of glasses, binoculars and telescopes as 'mediscopes' 'megascopes' and 'maxiscopes,' and the renaming of heartrate BPM to heartz which have caused some linguists to classify it as a separate language, Stani Spoken English or South Anglish which differs from Anglish in that it allows for loan words, provided they were appropriated in Stan. Stan is also home to thousands of undocumented constructed languages. Ko 2 is the most prominent conlang. The creator wanted to make something original yet primordial and sought the name Ko, but found it already taken. Eventually the name, Ko 2 or Kotu was decided upon. Kotu sounds like a mix of Farsi and Cypriot Greek.

Roamin

Roamins have a partial written language in the form of variations of left and right palm prints in the sand. Palm glyphs are receiving intense study by the international linguistic community. Variations are produced by rotating the palms inward and outward and by different combinations of extended fingers on a ten-finger-binary system.

Sample sentence with ethnonym and demonym

"I am a Roamin' from Stan."

"Mi soy Romi Quirkistani."
