Wedse: Difference between revisions

Line 298:

Wedsen flora has remained undisturbed for centuries, in areas of pristine vegetetion, often the last of its kind in the world of Fantasia. The Wedsen steppe is unsurpassed as an open pastureland and various types of grasses thrive on different ground and landscape conditions – from mountain to meadow steppe. There are many different types of steppe – generally named after the geographical terrain or a predominant plant species. Formations and colonies of plants live in harmony with the soil and climate, where the only danger apart from the severe climate is from natural forest fires or desertification. Certain plants like peonies thrive in shady or cool places, while others, like saxifrage, like to live on dry slopes exposed to the parching wind and powerful sun.

==~~Demographic~~==

==Demographics==

Wedse’s total population as of January 2021 is to be 17,280,029 people, ranking around 48th in the world of Fantasia. There are estimates made by the Wedsen National Statistical Office that show Wedse’s population growth rate is estimated at 1.2% (2018 est.). About 62% of the total population is under age 30, 34% of whom are under 14. This relatively young and growing population has placed strains on Wedse's economy, however this recovered quickly due to the new findings of oil within the countries borders.

Line 304:

Ethnic Wedsens account for about 92% of the population and consist of Mashgals and other groups, all distinguished primarily by dialects of the Wedsen language, and the isolate [[Mashgal]] language, heavily used in the [[Chuluulag]] region. The Mashgal make up 13% of the ethnic Wedsen population. The remaining 87% include primarily Wedsen people. Flírsk people constitute 3.5% of Wedse’s population, and the rest are Lakadamian, Neocastrian, Katsyrian and many more smaller populated nationalities.

===Languages===

The official language of Wedse is Wedsen, and is spoken by 98% of the population. A variety of dialects of Wedsen are spoken across the country, and there are also some speakers of Old Wedsen. In the west of the country, [[Mashgal]] is heavily used , specifically in Chuluulag and some parts of Zakhiral. In these regions, over 84% of the population are fluent, with Wedsen acting as their second language.

Today, Wedsen is written using the Wedsen alphabet in Wedse, although in the past it was written using the Old Wedse script. An official reintroduction of the old script was planned for 2021, but has not taken place as older generations encountered practical difficulties. Schools have been in discussion to reinstate the old alphabet, for the future generations to come. However, talks have been slow and there have been many disadvantages of enforcing this into society.

Flírsk is the most frequently spoken foreign language in Wedse, followed by Everish, although Everish isn’t an official language of Wedse. It is believed about 70-80% of the population in Wedse can speak Flírsk to a good degree, whereas English speakers in the country are estimated to be around 40%. In total, some thousands of Wedsen citizens are fluent in at least 4 languages, which has been helped by the high education system within the country. Lakadamian is the main foreign language choice for students in education, with over 86% of students aged 9-19 being able to speak Lakadamian to a good level. All these figures are likely to increase in the future as Wedse strives to become a more multilingual country.
