That's what I told Nait but his arguments were very persuasive.

Yeah, for one, Neel always spells it Fiorenso when it's Fiorenseo.

OH . *changes all the diplomacy letter crap*
I blame it on Jebus.

edit: Anyways, in a delayed response to your diplomatic overture
(resulting in me being promoted to Minister of Foreign Affairs):

Greetings Archcouncilor Jarvaentus,

I come from the city of Emirano in the land of Fiorenseo, a progressive country in the north-eastern continent of Verdantia; home to the world-renowned Metareason Academy and the historic landmarks Vedriet Peak and Sacersanct Peak. I hope this letter finds you and your citizens in good physical and social health.

I write to you today in response to your letter of correspondence. We share your hope of starting a golden era of international relations between Fiorenseo and Zhem. Prime Minister Yebus t'Emirano and myself agree wholeheartedly on opening and maintaining diplomatic relationships with all the peoples and countries of Eizon. We are glad you feel as we do and reach out to us as we reach out to you.

There will be many practical aspects to maintaining good diplomatic relations with Fiorenseo. Aside from being able to conduct international trade with reduced tariffs, citizens from your country will face easier laws concerning immigration and emigration from our lands. In addition, we invite your people to come study at our renowned Metareason Academy, led by our Minister of Knowledge Neel Shah, home to some of the brightest minds young and old in Eizon.

We look forward to being your friends.

Sincerely,
Teh Neel
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Emirano, Fiorenseo

I dunno about all the beggars in Eleannore, but, erm, yeah.

And we don't use accent marks in our local dialect. That's why they're missing.

They're not accent marks, they're dots. In Finnish, they show that a vowel is a FRONT-vowel - the ä in cat, and ö in girl, versus the a in but, and o bore. Also, y and u, but here the ¨ aren't used. Though they're used in Estonian, for the same reason.

So those dots aren't considered accent marks? Only things such as é and à?

Finnish uses only the special mark ä and ö. Sometimes an s with an inverted ^ on it, but that's just for the "sh" sound which is not native, and for which we write either "sakki" or "shakki".

Accent marks can be important in other languages, and in TONE-languages they're vital - if accent-marks are used.

Updated stuff! Notice how the first post in this thread has tripled or even quadrupled in length, with new stuff, like Religion, Economy and Society! Also!

I've added base six numbers in parentheses after base ten numbers!

I've added Zhem writing after Finnish words in the first part of the post!

Furthermore, no one likes me anymore!
