THE TONGUES OF PENLOD
Day 38 made a country by simulated rain and named every place on it in an invented tongue. Today that tongue is fifteen hundred years older, and it has split. Thirty-eight sound changes were born in towns, each in one place at one time (weighted by population), and carried along the real roads of the survey sheet: a town accumulates exposure from neighbours that already speak the new way, scaled by how long and steep the road between them is, and adopts the change when its own threshold is passed. Innovations spread for a few centuries and then stop. Where the roads are long and the passes high, the fronts stall, and the lines where they stalled are the isoglosses on the sheet.
Nothing about the result was decided. No road crosses the northern wall, so the towns beyond it never heard a single innovation from the plain and speak almost exactly the old tongue. The port, Bamur, invented most of the changes its own coast now shares. The capital, Loltum, took only four. The sentence is the same everywhere:

“the rain fell on the mountain, and the water ran down the long river to the sea; the cold land holds it” — Old Penlodic, the year 0.
