Bonisi

Bonisi is a language unique to the planet of Offworld and is spoken by people all over the planet, more in some areas though than others. It's one of numerous languages spoken on the planet, including English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Mandarin and more. In total number of fluent speakers, it is the most commonly spoken language, with English being the second most common. In terms of regional uses of the language, English is the most predominantly used in the first quarter of the language, with Bonisi being most common in the latter half. All other languages appear in various degrees throughout the entirety of the course depending on the majority ethnic demographic within the area. The language itself existed before the beginning of the race, and is a mishmash of numerous ancient languages that have blended together over the centuries as a result of other projects conducted by the controllers over the centuries which also involved the abduction of select individuals from Earth to the numerous worlds which they have maintained throughout the centuries for everything from experimentation to torture and worse.

The written language itself is pictographical and consists of 42 unique characters that, like Chinese, when combined in certain combinations, carry with them a unified or cumulative meaning, as each character itself carries a different meaning with it. Despite this, the language is surprisingly easy to learn and can generally be fully grasped within as few as six months, and mastered within one to two years. Once the basic structure and methodology of the language is learned, the rest becomes easy to grasp. Anyone, such as a racer, with the added benefit of their neural implants, or a natural aptitude towards languages, can master the language in as little as four to six months in most cases.
