Axolisc

Axolisc (Axolish) is a West Germanic/Anglo-Frisian/Anglic language spoken in Axolotlia that split off from Middle English during the early colonial days. It’s very similar to English. One of the reasons Axolisc diverged from English so quickly, is because it has no rules other than the few necessary to make it work.

The UK tried desperately to eradicate Axolisc before it became a unique language, at one point, only 100 people could fluently speak it in 1941. People started learning Axolisc in an attempt to keep it alive, nowadays 23.5% of Axolotlians can speak it fluently, or around 445,500 people.

Yes that's right I found a mostly usable lowercase ampersand, it is even used as a simpler version irl.

Do not ask how the Axolisc Alphabet song works. It has 5 more letters than English, and is missing Q, so a total of 4 more. If you want you can try making one, good luck.

How to write Axolisc’s unique letters.

Axolisc’s unique letters can be found as follows.

ε is the only one not, it is greek, but you can use latin epsilon found by holding "e" key if you want, just not on this slideshow. & is literally already commonly used in English so you know where to look.

Shavian

Axolotlia nearly adopted shavian as its alphabet for Axolisc, it almost caught on and made it as far as getting a few street signs, but did die out. It is still taught in schools for Axolisc as an alternative to the Axolisc Alphabet, even though it is borderline useless nowadays. About 1/5 of Axolisc speakers can easily read and write Shavian.

It still has a tiny user base of 2k in a few towns.

Below is “The Republic of Axolotlia” in English in both Shavian and Latin

Axolisc Keyboard Layout

It is also called the Þwerty keyboard, I made sure to keep WASD unchanged. I nearly put Æ where Q was but I chose Þ instead. Imagine if this was real… that's not foreshadowing because i have no intentions to make one.

Since there are 30 letters and 10 digits, the keyboard is a 10 x 4 grid of keys.

Q is usually available in a submenu with other symbols like ? @ and #.
