	'''''[[drikva yakke#Drikva Yakke\|Drikva Yakke]]''''' /ˈdrik.va ˈjak.ʃe/, or '''Modern Standard Imperial''', is a standardized analytic language developed from an earlier creolized form of of various ancient languages, though it still retains a rather deep orthography from an earlier form. It is written in the Imperial Script ('''''[[kuggi yakke#Drikva Yakke\|Kuggi Yakke]]''''' /ˈkuɡ.ʒi ˈjak.ʃe/), which is an alphabet originally written vertically in syllable blocks, but is now most commonly written left-to-right in individual letters. The block-form letters are still commonly used similarly to how majuscule letters are used in Latinate scripts.

	The Imperial Language is actually a snapshot of several languages over the course of several centuries. While the written language changed very little in that time, the spoken language changed significantly, and the word order and syntax became much more rigid. In a way, it is analogous to Latin, the Classical form of which would barely be understood by speakers of Vulgar Latin a few centuries later, but the word forms remained largely the same.

	* '''''[[yinkesh#Drikva Yakke\|yinkesh]]''''' ‘wing’ → '''''yeyinkesh''''' ‘pair of wings’ → '''''kve yinkesh''''' ‘(many) wings’		* '''''[[yinkesh#Drikva Yakke\|yinkesh]]''''' ‘wing’ → '''''yeyinkesh''''' ‘pair of wings’ → '''''kve yinkesh''''' ‘(many) wings’
	While these “dual” forms almost always refer to grouped pairs of objects, they sometimes refer to sets of more than two, e.g. '''''[[lhat#Drikva Yakke\|lhat]]''''' ‘tooth’ → kve lhat ‘teeth’ → lelhat ‘set of teeth’. In the case of teeth, this may have originated with the dual sense of the upper and lower sets of teeth, and other sets were later analogized on this model.

			Another slight irregularity is the (usually poetic) dual usage of '''''[[thrin#Drikva Yakke\|thrin]]''''' ‘heart’ to refer to couples in love, but generally the use of '''''tethrin''''' is discouraged in formal writing.
