Languages: Pure Horse to (Old) Pavic

Hi

I reckon there's a fair case for saying that Joraz and his folk would have accepted a need to speak the official city language, and initially learned it as a second language.
However the next generation would speak the local language (Pavic) as their first language, even if their parents still taught them to speak Pure Horse

So there would be a shift over only 3 or so generations, away from the original Pure Horse, which would probably remain but certainly drop in importance, as the new Zebra Tribe seem inarguably to have seen themselves now as people of Pavis above and beyond any other identities

just my two clacks worth
