Galarian is a widespread language which had its origins from the region of Galar. It is also the demonym for anyone from Galar (and to some extent the Crown Tundra). It began its spread outside the region with Galarian explorers and colonists. Thanks in no small part to the Galarian Empire, Galarian became a world language. At present, it is the primary language of Galar, Unova, Orre, Angela, and Alola.

Other Languages of Galar

Although the most common and de facto official language of the Galar region, Galarian isn't the sole indigenous language there. Specific areas have their own languages, much like the real-world United Kingdom. One of these languages is Armourese, still spoken in the Isle of Armor.

Dialect Diversity

Specific mutually intelligible dialects of the Galarian language (often reductively dubbed as "accents") can be found across the globe. They sound remarkably distinct from region to region. Within Galar is a wide range of dialects that vary from Freezington to Wyndon. Some people from Kalos also adopt a Galarian accent, though others speak the language in a distinctively Kalosian one.

Trivia

  • It is basically the WAAPTverse version of English, replacing the angle-bracketed version of the language upon the announcement trailer of Pokémon Sword and Shield.
  • Although the RP itself is primarily written in English, Galarian is not presumed to be the default language anyone is speaking unless otherwise specified.
