Linguists: while they have complicated histories, all languages are valid and interesting examples of how humans exist and behave and communicate
Me *making Galactic Basic into an in-universe conlang created by the Republic Department of Linguistic Standards (DoLS) to impose Republic cultural domination in advance of Republic political and economic domination as a weapon against Hutt & other factions' potential control over systems, often with the effect of replacing and wiping out the indigenous languages of entire planets due to way it was created to be easy to learn for a wide variety of species and linguistic backgrounds*: sure yeah but this one is evil
Linguists: well…umm…uhh…first of all you’re vastly overestimating your ability to make a language that appeals to as wide a variety of first language speakers and second… Umm…and no language is—well—hmm…
Me: but also it's the only language the clones are taught growing up. Which is a tragedy among tragedies of course but they'll also adapt it and add new words and make a patchwork from other languages they hear on a thousand different planets and study during long hyperspace journeys, and they'll code switch to perfect "standard phonology" basic with certain people and most of their self-invented names are in Basic too because no one ever gave them names and nobody else actually names their kids in Basic because there are barely any names in Basic and this whole thing will be a form of Basic largely untouched by the Republic education systems beholden to the DoLS for funding
Linguists *hurriedly packing their bags to come and study this*:
👀👀👀
Me *in a convertible, smug*: get in losers, it's called BibiuBubui and you're late
