Fluccish

Definition

Fluccish is the common extramuros vernacular of the Sæculum, contrasted with Orth. Avout use it when addressing visitors, conducting everyday dealings outside the walls, or choosing a tone that feels natural in worldly settings.

Context and Usage

• Public openings: Fluccish is heard prominently during Apert when visitors enter and tours are given; intramuros speakers switch to it to be understood by crowds and guests.
• Travel and coordination: In movements toward a Convox, groups often keep precise, internal discussion in Orth and provide ad hoc summaries or switch into Fluccish in mixed Peregrin settings.
• Shorthand for outside talk: A narrator describes traveling through wild country without seeing towns or “hearing a word of Fluccish,” using the language as an emblem of ordinary extramuros life.
• Religious communities: Deolater groups commonly read scripture translations in Fluccish; some isolated sects may study Classical Orth to avoid relying on translators. Local pronunciations of Orth can sound rough to avout but remain intelligible.
• Register signaling and vocabulary: Speakers sometimes mark a term explicitly as Fluccish while speaking Orth (for example, calling out the Fluccish word “picnic”). Everyday vocabulary includes tools and vehicles (e.g., “fetch”), and idioms shift quickly across regions.
