Deeper vowels
Some of the changes are shifts of sound, or the speed of speech. Long vowels are more round and hollow out here. It is acceptable to drop parts of a sentence if one's listener can reasonably guess what's missing.
Description summary:
Extra text is sometimes added after the second sentence or as an additional paragraph at the end of the description, likely based on the city's 
Founding Body and 
Official Alignment.
| Founding Body | Third Sentence |
|---|---|
| Furnace Ancona; Furnace Ancona, Starved | A few words of Italian have crept in, especially for addressing babies and young children. |
| The Double of the Manager | A few words of the First City have returned to use, especially for trade goods or for animals. |
| Your Own Double | N/A |
| Alignment | Extra Paragraph |
|---|---|
| Liberationist | But there are other changes too, changes of idiom reflecting differences of thought. London is called the city of lamps, and it is not a compliment. |

| Prehistoricist-Emancipationist, Mixed | N/A |
