Why the evolution of languages in Narnia doesen't make any sense. A study by: me.

Notes: I was talking with a friend and we had this idea. I hope it makes sense. Also, English it's not my first lenguage.

Allright. Year one, the creation of Narnia. When Narnia is created, all speaking creatures(fauns, centaurs, talking animals, mermaids...), King Frank, Queen Helen and Aslan himself, speak 1940's English ( the monarchs probably spoke with a London accent).

This being said, you are meaning to tell me, that when the Pevensies arrive, over a millenium later, the language hasn't evolved in the slightest? No dialects, no new lenguages, no new vocabulary? How is that even possible??

My first idea was that it was due to the fact that, like Latin, it remained untouched because it was written. But that still holds an issue. Orally, there must have been changes. Latin wasn't sopken the same way it was written, and, over time, with all the different pronounciations and mixes with the languages on different territories, it evolved to more than twenty romance languages.

There's also an issue with the Telmarines. It's clearly inspired by 16th centurish Spanish pirates (hence the accents in the movies). But, why would they dicide to use the lenguage of the people they have conquered?

It's happened beofore. When the Visigoths and the Germanic people invaded what today it's known as Spain, they didn't impose their lenguage. Instead, they learned Latin. They were warriors, and they adapted to a more generalised and standardized language. However, they left words ( on the war field mostly) on today's Spanish vocabulary.

Did the Telmarines leave any words behind? Why do they still have an accent when they have been speaking english for a few centuries??

Now, with Calormen, another problem is presented. It's clearly inspired by the islamic world. Obiously used by Lewis as a way of hate towarss a religon and culture he considered 'not true'. With Tash, we see that they adore a 'bad' god.

But besides all that, why do they speak English? They're clearly humans. Not caucasian, but humans all the same. Which means they must come from our world. Probably form a islamic/arabic background. So, why don't they speak a different language? It's a completely different culture, and they were not created when Narnia was. Why would they speak the lengage of a country which they are in constant conflict with?

It's obvious that C.S.Lewis doesen't want to make any sense. The world he created has many problems and unsolved questions. So, the non-evolution of English, the non-spanishspeaking Telmarines and the non-arabicspeaking Calormenes it's because of magic. A miracle by Aslan that makes everyone speak proper English.
