Atlantic language

The Atlantic language (Laeímch Atliaemcha or just Atliaemch) is an Insular Celtic language within the narrower Atlantic language family, spoken as the official language of Atlantica Alba and the first language of at around 90% of its population. It is a dialect continuum, with many regional dialects mutually unintelligible with the "national standard," with neighbouring dialects mutually intelligible and more distant dialects often mostly mutually unintelligible, especially those spoken in the Personal Realms, which are usually considered languages in their own right within the Atlantic language family. Nevertheless, the upper class dialect of the national capital, Milo (ie. that used by the royal family), is the basis for the written and spoken standard, which is taught in public schools and used by media and academia; this means that while speakers of Milo and similar dialects may have a hard time comprehending other dialects, speakers of other Atlantic dialects rarely have issues understanding the standard dialect, due to its widespread standard use and prestige.
