The Wakara language vocabulary documented here comprises specialized terminology developed for governmental, military, and institutional contexts within the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie. For basic vocabulary, verb roots, common phrases, and general semantic fields (maritime, cultural, educational, technological), see the main Wakara language article.
Following Boriquén's incorporation into the federation in 1719 AN, the Guatu Wakarabo (Wakara Language Council) undertook systematic efforts to create Wakara equivalents for federal institutions, enabling full participation in civic life for Wakara speakers. These terms appear in official documents published in Boriquén, in proceedings of the Areyto Legislativo de Boriquén, and in Wakara-language media throughout the region.
The vocabulary draws on traditional Wakara roots and established morphological patterns. Core derivational elements include -ke (place of), -hatu (great), -nu (collective), -na (agent), -ti (diminutive), and -on (augmentative). For complete grammatical information, see Wakara grammar.
