Birth of Criollatina Edit

To ease communication between peoples speaking other Romance languages, there were plenty of lingua francas spoken all around the country. Those lingua francas were called Criollatinas, more rarely Iberico. Those plenty of intercommunautary languages became normalized to give the Criollatina, which split into three forms : Western, Central, and Eastern. The Eastern dialects are more conservative than the western one, making the Eastern more comprehensible than the western.
