Meanwhile in Snoozing Buffalax...
Sep. 21st, 2012 11:08 amElisif Baratheon deals with the language barrier.
The Issue
A group several thousand strong hailing from a remote, isolated corner of Snoozing Buffalax is staging a massive demonstration on the front steps of your capitol. They demand that their local dialect be recognized as an official language.
The Debate
1.Naki Han, your Minister of Culture, has nothing but disdain for the demonstrators. "The language of Snoozing Buffalax is as important to our national identity as our history is. A truly erudite individual uses perfect grammar and refuses to speak as those ruffians do." Your Finance Minister is quick to chime in as well, "If business is required to print every road sign, instruction manual, and fast-food wrapper in two languages, it would increase everybody's overhead. That means higher prices for the person in the street."
2."Smarker, but ee's gone blongie 'round the clonger! Trandy in the blang warked a newtie on the Cheebers, quaff me a duggle if it's brine. Sorky, hang our trandy high!" says Johann Brown, speaking for the demonstrators, in an apparently rousing response that draws a cascade of cheers. After a few uncomfortable minutes with a professional translator, you find the speaker said, "I respectfully disagree with the Minister. Multilingualism has brought stability to richly-cultured nations such as Brancaland; indeed, I challenge you to provide a single counterexample. I encourage this government to adopt a policy of multilingualism throughout Snoozing Buffalax!"
3.Robin Where, a radical opposition member who seems to tag along to every demonstration she can find, has her own proposal. "The language barrier is keeping us all apart. What Snoozing Buffalax needs is a new identity defined by a new language that we can all agree on. That's unity without favoritism."
