Runish isn’t grossly different to a mix mostly comprising of Icelandic, with some Norwegian in there, and it follows the Greek writing style (in that the emphasis is placed on the accentuated letter). There’s also some (a lot of) creative liberties taken.

Canonically, it isn’t too hard to learn standard Runish, it’s fairly easy to study in a nation such as Runár that will teach it. However the Víko variation of the language (Ímen/Víkomen) is much, much harder. It’s spoken faster, with long phrases amalgamated together. It also uses heavy emphasis on intonations, so éi vs eí can be different words. On top of all of that, some words have, over time, evolved into sounds instead of actual words. "Goodbye" is tiktík but sounds closer to the noise you make when you tut twice. Certain whistles and other vocal noises can also mean other sentiments.

I’ll go first…

Tavalia’s language is very similar to Italian so it’d depend on what the native language of the learning person person is. It wouldn’t be an easy thing to learn, although to an English speaker they wouldn’t be able to make up some of the words so it wouldn’t require several years dedicated to it.

Depends on which aguiszen you are trying to learn, there's old aguiszen that is similar to old persian (before adopting the arab alphabet), modern aguiszen (a weird mix of persian, french and irish due to the Holy Crownlands of Aguizendla and their invasion) and idlesian aguiszen (which is modern aguiszen with borrowing from different minority languages in Ydleci). So, i'd say it's quite hard if you are a native english speaker as difficulty is usually relative on which language you are the most fluent at.

Would there be a stereotype people abroad would have about your nation’s citizens?

Yeah, probably that Tavalians don’t care all that much about foreigners. This is true in some rural eastern regions where citizens rarely concern them about the happenings outside their towns but in large cities a large portion of the population still advocate for active participation and taking part in international initiatives. The stereotype would stem from the somewhat individualist approach of the government on it’s people. In Tavalia you essentially can take a stance on whatever, mind your business and the government would rarely intervene in your life making it frankly unnecessary for the average Tavalian to extend compassion towards someone kilometers away from them, although like I’ve mentioned earlier this varies from person to person in Tavalia and would not be an accurate generalization.

I think that one stereotype that others would have about Narodovyans is that they would be very depressed and be alcoholics, however only the alcoholism is true. Narodovyans are actually very cheerful and although their current conditions are quite bad, their will to outshine hardship still remains.

That we only run a wildlife sanctuary because we want to hide our ties with the cartel. Anyone who accuses us of that is automatically wrong, because animals are cute. What? people who accuse us unexpectedly die all the time? It's just a coincidence of course. (Ok multiple of them but that's beside the point!) How dare you accuse us of such fathomable acts?! We love animals! That's why we take care of them!
