Many Dialects of Neocybex - 1/3

Iaconian

The most widely spoken dialect around the palent. It is so popular that it's almost like unofficial standard speech of Neocybex. 

Almost every single young bots learn Iaconian as their very first foreign dialect, but due to its diabolical grammar rules not many succeds at learning it properly. Speaking fluent Iaconian is considered a telltale sign of being an intellectual in many city-states, as all universities on Cybertron provides lectures mainly in Iaconian.

It is very easy to spot Iaconian even outside of Iacon, since business owners and ad designers love to insert random iaconian words and phrases into logos, shop signs, posters and so on. They think it makes their product or business sound more "classy", but in reality you'd be lucky to find ones that are grammatically correct let alone actually matching the context at all.

Iaconian is also spoken in many colony planets, such as Aquatron, Eukaris, Procyon, and many many other. This means that there are many sub-dialects that are based on Iaconian, but I won't list them here because there are literally hundreds of those.

Aliens who come in contact with Cybertronians often mistake this dialect as the official language of Cybertron, since this is the dialect they are most likely to come across. 

The closest Earth equivalent would be Latin(in linguistic aspect) and English(for obvious reasons). I guess this is about the only Cybertronian language that actually has Earth equivalent.

Kaonese

The dialect of Kaon, and also the official dialect of the Decepticons. Even before the Decepticon movement boosted its popularity up to the sky, it was the language that posessed the largest number of native speakers. Nowadays it has become yet another widely-spoken dialect, coming very short second to Iaconian. 

There is a stereotype that Kaonese sounds harsh and barbaric. Such misconception stems from several factors, such as  strong accents and heavily aspirated consonants... or it could simply be the fact that Kaonites in general are known as gladiators and mercenaries.

Kaonese in spoken form may sound simplistic, because Kaonites likes to be concise rather than desceiptive when they are talking. They have tendency to drop grammatical components in spoken words, making the sentence short and efficient. 

It is said that a true Kaonese can scare off robbers just by reading their grocery list really really loudly. 

On the other hand, written Kaonese shows that the dialect is surprisingly sophisticted and even elegant in its own way. Thousands of Kaonese songs and poems have been loved by many around the globe, and even the upper classes favored Kaonese novels over those that are written in any other dialects. 

Kaonese profanities are notorious for its diversity and flexibility. In fact, any random words can pass as a profanity when one yells it loudly enough.
