<p>
Is the Verdurian influence on the surrounding languages so strong, that
we can always assume that Verdurian loan words can be used in the
neighboring language (Ismain, Barahinei, Flaidish...) if the extant
materials in that language don't include the word we need?
<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>I'm afraid not! The influence of Verdurian in the Plain is not like
that of English today; it's more like that of French in the 18th century.
Educated people and merchants may well know it; but peasants and workers
would not.
<p>I'll be glad to provide words on request... how well this goes will
depend on demand. I certainly never expected that people would try to
learn (say) Barakhinei...</i>
