I'm so happy with how Our Wars Have Ended is dealing with language. So many fantasy* settings just handwave it. I don't entirely blame them - it's a pain in the ass when you're trying to get to a story and you have to wade through the logistics - but there's a whole-ass set of stories you can tell about the logistics.
Also, I am a sucker for Oldish English. I used to have a character on a forum RPG who spoke a version of the setting's Common Tongue that was hundreds of years out of date (she was an unaging golem servant to a family based on a different continent). I wrote her dialogue by putting what I wanted her to say through an online Old English translator, and then tweaking it until it was juust intelligible enough that other players could make out the gist of what she was saying. So naturally I fucking love the Long King's dialogue.
If OWHE gets a second season with a new casting call, and that casting call includes female or nonbinary characters that speak fucked up pseudo-Old English, I may be forced to try out for them. I will shell out for a podcast-quality mic if it might give me the opportunity to perform in fake Old English.
