Alexino (also known as Martindrien) is a form of code-switching and linguistic fusion between Alexandrian and Martino languages. This mixed language emerged from the cultural and linguistic contact between Alexandrian and Martino speakers, particularly in regions that were once under the control of the Empire of the Alexandrians or where Alexandrian people have settled. As two of the main languages of Alexandria, both languages coexisted in Cibola, Tapfer, Keltia, and Eura. The term is a portmanteau of "Alexandrian" and "Martino."

Alexino developed naturally in areas where both languages met, particularly during the height of the Alexandrian Empire when Alexandrian and Martino speakers frequently interacted in commercial, cultural, and social settings. It became especially prevalent in urban centers like Geneva, Franciscania, Loredo, and Las Cruces, as well as other trade hubs where both linguistic communities maintained regular contact. The phenomenon gained particular prominence during the post-imperial period after Alexandria collapsed due to the Alexandrian flu pandemic of 1651 AN when Alexandrian diaspora communities settled in predominantly Martino-speaking regions and vice versa such as Dos Gardenias, Geneva, and Lindstrom.

Today, Alexino is widely spoken in Nouvelle Alexandrie, particularly in the regions of Alduria, Santander, and Valencia, where both Alexandrian and Martino are official languages. It maintains a significant presence in Natopia, especially in regions with historical Alexandrian settlement such as Dos Gardenias, Transegale, and Arboria del Sur. The language is also commonly used in Oportia and has a growing speaker community in Ransenar, particularly in urban areas like Belmuliet, Meath, and Goldfield, where Alexandrian and Martino-speaking communities interact frequently.

The mixed language is characterized by its flexible incorporation of both Alexandrian and Martino elements, with speakers often switching between languages mid-sentence or adapting words from one language to the grammatical structures of the other. Common features include the use of Alexandrian verbs with Martino conjugation patterns, hybrid vocabulary items, and distinctive pronunciation patterns that blend elements from both languages. While primarily used in informal settings, Alexino has gained recognition from the Académie Alexandrin as a significant cultural phenomenon worthy of study and documentation.
