Anglo-Spanish hybrid is encouraged in both forum posts and in-game; using phrases such as "Hola" "Adios" "si" "bueno" "senor" "Buenos dias/noches" "hermano" "hermana" "familia" "Viva los Corsairs" "Vamos", but it is preferred that use of Spanish is restricted to phrases non-Spanish speakers will recognise.

German words aren't too hard to be understood when thrown in. I sometimes use them while I'm in my Unioner character and screaming at the Rhinelanders in system.
I'm so thankful for my few years of German study...:D
