Editing Neebrachters (section)

== LANGUAGE ==
While common is the standard language of commerce in the Republic, Neebrachts is the first spoken language of the vast majority of people living in the provinces. It is a throaty and guttural sounding language, and it is often joked that it sounds like a garbled common, though it is more closely related to Drachensprak. The Neebrachters maintain a somewhat rigid naming tradition, the origin of which is lost to modern scholars. The first-born son and daughter are always named after their paternal or maternal grandparent, the second-borns after their maternal grandparents, and all subsequent children after aunts or uncles. Surnames often employ the particles de and van, typically associated with geography or occupation.

The following are examples of Neebrachter names;
