mistakes

grammar:

I wanted to start this topic. (past tense) or I have been wanting to start this topic. (present tense)

I have been playing nationstates for several days

but I have never RPed or but I have not been RPing.

It's not an imangination problem.

English isn't my mother tongue so I don't know if I would stay in the tempo of playing.

I will be misunderstood so I don't RP but I want to and this is a problem

Oh, if I make any mistakes - I'm just learning.

Just some corrections. I'm kind of picky that way. I would be happy to help you start RPing. May I suggest joining Europa Atlantica? It is a RPing region with a map similar to Europe although that's the only similarity to Europe. It is quite full actually although there is space for a few more nations. Even if you don't decide to join I'll be glad to RP a diplomatic meeting or something along those lines.

Right now my King is in the middle of a funeral/coronation thread but I'm sure his uncle or brother would be available to meet a representative of your nation.

What is your mother tongue? There are some regions within the game whose members use various non-English languages when talking to each other, so if there's one for your language you might be able to RP there...

Eovosian?

Eovosian or Eonavian. It is a term used to refer a set of dialects or falas whose linguistic dominion extends in the zone of Asturias between the Eo and Navia rivers (or more exactly Eo and Freixulfe rivers). It includes the Asturian municipalities of Boal, Castropol, Coaña, Eilao, El Franco, Grandas de Salime, Pezós, San Martín de Ozcos, Santalla de Ozcos, Santiso d'Abres, Tapia de Casariego, Taramundi, A Veiga, Vilanova de Ozcos, and partially those of Navia, Ibias, Vilaión, and Allande. Other terms used include gallego-asturiano (the official term in Asturias, meaning 'Asturian-Galician language') a fala ('the speech', not to be confused with the Fala language of Extremadura) and galego de Asturias ('Galician language of Asturias'). The term Eonaviego or Eovisiano was first used by the linguist Xavier Frias Conde, and it was himself who translated it as Eonavian in English, Éonavien in French or eonavienc in Catalan. In 2007, the Academy of the Asturian Language accepted the denomination of Eonavian to refer to this Galician-Portuguese dialect.

This set of dialects was traditionally included by linguists as Galician-Portuguese or Galician, with some characteristics of Asturian language. That was the opinion of some linguists as Menéndez Pidal, Eugenio Coseriu, Luís Lindley Cintra, Dámaso Alonso or even more recent ones as Francisco Xavier Frías Conde or Xoán Babarro. Nowadays, however, there is a political-linguistic conflict on the identity of the language, between those that prioritize the Asturian identity of this speech and those that continue to prioritize the Galician substratum. The former, mostly in Asturias, identify Eonavian as a dialect continuum between the Asturian and Galician languages, or even a third language spoken only in that area. The latter, mostly in Galicia, identify it as Galician and request the protection which Galician enjoys in Castile and Leon, that protects the dialects of El Bierzo- O Bierzo in cooperation with the Galician Government.

In this dialectal area, there are associations supporting each side, such as Mesa prá Defensa del Galego de Asturias, Colectivo Cotarelo Valledor and Asociación Abertal (defending the Galician theory) and Xeira (defending the Asturian theory). Its protection and language policy is the responsibility of the Asturian Government and the Secretaría Llingüística del Navia-Eo, a division of the Academia de la Llingua Asturiana responsible for this area. There are two different orthographies for Eonavian, the official one (more Asturian-like) and one made by the Mesa prá Defensa del Galego de Asturias (more Galician-like).

Galicia or Galiza is an autonomous community of Spain, composing the provinces of La Coruña, Lugo, Ourense and Pontevedra. It is located in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. It borders Portugal to the south, the Spanish regions of Castile and León and Asturias to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west.

But I'm also aware that Galicia is also a region of Central Europe, divided between Poland and the Ukraine.
