What language are we actually speaking in the UD?

And why should different dialects not be the same language? Isn't that what is being done with all the z = th and other variants of common going on?

My language is one of the more phonetically varied languages in the world, even having variations in the vocabular between all the dialects. But I can understand all of those dialects just fine. In fact, as a Norwegian, I can understand spoken and written Danish and Swedish of all their dialects as well.

The point is, even if drow is a dialect, the language remains elven. Elves and drow should understand one-another even if their accents and parts of their vocabulary has differences.

I'm not sure what influence real world linguistics should have on this discussion but a counterexample to the commonalities between Scandinavian languages would be the Mandarin dialects that can make it difficult for a Shanghai native to do business in Beijing, despite the fact that these are nominally the same language.

Putting that aside I really can't imagine why we would take away content from the UD

The language widgets works pretty good. Tip: pick the language and open that languages sub window. Then click on your normal text window keeping the other one open. Now when using the normal text window to tyoe it will have you using the other language. No more clumsy entering it into the languages sub window.
