Regional languages
As Natopia has grown and expanded into different parts of the world, many languages have been encountered. Regional and local languages are encouraged to grow and be taught at home as first languages.
Alrodrian
Some of the inhabitants of the island of Alrodey are descended from the Empire of Alrodria, which occupied the island of Caplona before being welcomed into the Natopian empire. Alrodrians soon emigrated to Alrodey (then known as Crystal Island, and Muckypuckyland). Their language, like the culture of their empire, was similar to Latin and early contact between Alrodria and Natopia introduced many Latin phrases into Natspeak. It is still spoken on the island of Alrodey.
