Recognition and Status
Gourdinian is seldom recognized, no doubt because it was "dead" for almost a thousand years. Though most linguists with any knowledge of the language agree that it is a
romance language there is debate over whether it should be classified and a constructed language
as; once again thanks to its extinction, several pieces of the language were lost, so a few aspects of its language had to be predicted, though only a very small amount.
It has not got recognition from any government- neither national or regional- and is still technically extinct. The fact that it died and is under fairly early stages of revival is a massive factor in the lack of recognition
Dialects
There are no dialects in the main language, but regional variation can be observed, most notably in names. The difference is observed in the few areas in eastern Europe that Gourdinian has reached. The divide in the slight change is essentially the
La Spezia-Rimini Line
. An example of this is the name Andrew. In the west it translates as Andreux (probably from French influence) yet in the east it is Andreos (probably from Greek influence).
