Description Edit

is the native language spoken by the people of Medici in Just Cause 3

It is an international auxiliary language called interlingua which is largely based on Romance languages, but also includes words of Germanic origin (e.g. blau).

The language is never heard in conversation between Medicians, who prefer to speak English (or whichever other language the game has been localized to). However, it can be heard sung in the song, Iste Nocte Non Finira, the song that plays at DJ Santosi's rave and on someone's radio in Rondella.

According to one of the quotes over-heard from a discussion from the Black Hand in JC3, the language was invented in the 1960s to purposely merge several real languages.

Grammar Edit

Medician largely adheres to Interlinguan grammar, but Alessia makes a grammatical error after the liberation of Costa Di Ravello, when she suggests renaming the town to "Costa Di Rico".

'Di' is the neutral Italian form for the word 'of' (indicating that Sebastiano Di Ravello is of Italian descent). The correct Interlinguan construction is "Costa De Rico". But this may also mean that she suggests that the town should be translated into “The coast of Rico.
