It's kinda interesting from a oral tradition standpoint...I'm far looser with spoken language than written, and that's part of the fun of language. But in places that relied on oral tradition, it has to be pretty important to keep some semblance of formality in the speech so that things stay intact over time.
I'm no linguist, but one of the cooler scientific papers I've ever read was about the distribution of pronunciation of Icelandic (I think...I may be wrong, and it may have been a Scandinavian island, but anywho...). Point being, there was variation occurring slightly going from north to south, which was gradual, but made it so that people on the extremes had a harder time understanding each other than normal.
I'm sure that's pretty natural, but I guess because it's a "closed system", you could see how it exactly evolved over time. It was nifty. There was also a split almost dead down the center of the island, where people on the east side said something a specific way, and the west a different way.
I'm going to go off on a weird tangent, but sometimes I wonder about Iceland in regards to Atlantis. Knew a girl from Iceland in college, and she was uncommonly intelligent. Like, preternatural intelligence. Maybe it's coming from a population that had to adapt, but I dunno. Her spoken and written English were top notch. Brutally attractive too. She just seemed to thoroughly outclass everyone, even some of the teachers.
Well, perhaps you've seen the projected maps of the U.S., at least, in terms of the "plan" for the U.S. by TPTB.
Multiple times I've seen maps where they have a gigantic swath of the U.S. around the Mississippi as completely protected land with minimal human occupation.
