(timer starts ticking) IS IT LMANBURG OR LMANBERG
// (poll mabye ?)
okay im sooo conflicted on this. because on one hand l'manberg Looks better like it looks right visually. on the other hand the name is supposed to be inspired by european town names (i will Not be getting into how the l' is supposed to be french inspiration even though its in front of a consonant which makes Absolutely Zero Sense when i catch this man i swear to god) and im pretty sure "burg" is for like the suffix (like "bourg" in french) that means a town/small town? linguistics people can correct me on this but im like 80% sure thats where the suffix comes from, in which case burg would be correct. but im leaving it to the people

Does the song Hallelujah still make anyone else want to throw up because of the L'manburg anthem. I straight up forget that like uses the chord of Hallelujah. And then that shit plays in public and I am a deer in headlights

l'manburg language headcanons
okay so i havent sat down and actually created a language for lmanburg but I hc that they have their own language & here are hcs for that language. its a mashup of all the languages that the members speak. i know that a language couldn't really develop in the timeframe so I'm speeding up the development because i want to.
Slang / Phrases
first, it exists withing minecraft, so internet/minecraft lingo and phrases are commonplace (ie: pots, spawn, etc)
l'manburg was born out of conflict, so many phrases and slang are often violent.
because many prolific figures (c!tommy with prime, c!wilbur with being phil's son, c!eret with the herobrine stuff, c!dream with the XD stuff) are heavily religous / associated with religion, religious phrases are also very common.
there are different words for non-canon death, a canon death, and the last canonical death (the one that kills kills you)
Actual Language
l'manburg's language is a mix of british english, french, dutch, spanish, german, latin, and ancient greek. because it is such a new language, some words are the exact same as the English (given that english is the common language) words.
all military/war words have absolutely no english ties (as to provide secrecy). most are a mix of french, latin, and ancient greek (latin and ancient greek comes from c!tommy & c!wilbur, because they were taught by c!techno)
words pertaining nationality, home, or base are a mix of french (l'-), german (-manburg), and dutch (man). Most are french.
words pertaining to money or commerce are dutch & english inspired.
words pertaining to farming are inspired by ancient greek (c!techno again)
words pertaining to government/high authority are often a mix of latin, french, and english (c!wilbur is fucking obsessed with french & latin)
anything related to food is inspired by german and ancient greek.
Context / Timeline
quackity's arrival made spanish inspired words/phrases more abundant.
schlatt made american phrases and spellings very common.
the manburg administration attempted to phase out the language, but was unsuccessful.
new lmanburg caused many more phrases based on death, nature, rot, and renewal.
new lmanburg put a lot of emphasis on philosophical, poetic, descriptive, and physiological words.
words regarding cops, police, and laws are closely tied with negative words such as evil, thief, and traitor.
manburg replaced many religious words and phrases with more neutral alternatives.
the first words created in the new language were military moves and tools.
new lmanburg's descriptive words were often enderian words translated into the latin alphabet (as c!ranboo, the minute man, was the one who used and created them)
lmanburg was often underdeveloped in governmental words pertaining to the running of a country.
okay thats all i have for rn but i might add on to this when i think of it. also if u have any questions/requests please ask i love answering questions /gen
