History
Origins
The origins of Fogatchasian begin with the evolution of the proto-Fogatchasian languages. There are approximately five proto-Fogatchasian languages prior to their merging into central Fogatchasian. The only complete document in early middle Fogatchasian found was a multilingual document called Goolk Dayes likely written by a teenager around the fall of the Gẅyddzkãp kingdom. The rise of the Federal Republic of New Potato Land also lead a rise of the Welsh language in the region influencing late middle Fogatchasian. As the popularity of the Welsh language in the region rose, so did modern Fogatchasian. As Fogatchasian spread throughout the region, a Northern and a Southern dialect was formed. The southern dialect adopted the Galactic Alphabet with an exclusion of a few letters, while the Northern dialect continued with the evolution of the language until the death of the language.
Differences between the Northern and Southern dialects
The most notable difference would the completely different writing systems. Southern Fogatchasian utilizes the Galactic Alphabet, which it borrowed from neighboring languages. Northern Fogatchasian used the Latin alphabet, which it followed Fogatchasian. The second most notable difference in the dialects is their location. Northern Fogatchasian is spoke throughout the Federal Republic of New Potato Land, and it originated in the Fogatchasian regions of Tatws Mawr in the Federal Republic of New Potato Land. Southern Fogatchasian developed in some parts of Draig Tatws, New Potato Land also in the Federal Republic of New Potato Land.
