===Commission on the Slokaisian Language=== After United Federation forces captured New Liverpool in 1966 and declared a new government, the first meeting of the United Federation Parliament was held. At that meeting Speaker Howard Xiang stated in his opening remarks βI want to create a new united Slokais, a common tongue, a common name and a common goalβ. This statement was actually taken from a pre-war nationalist book{{efn|Kamus Bahasa Slokaisian published in 1947|}}, yet was still well received by many. Just a few months later, the UFP passed a legislation to establish a sub-committee to build national unity known as The Parliamentary Sub-Committee on a Common Language (PSC-CL). In 1967, the PSC-CL passed a set of rules around language, a highly debated topic, known as the Language Act of 1967. Included was the creation of a the Commission on the Slokaisian Language to create a new national language in addition to the national languages of English and Spanish. The Commission on the Slokaisian Language was made up of 27 members, with representatives languages from each major language group as well as linguistic scholars from several universities. Included in the committee were some surviving Basha Slokasian experts who largely pushed for the existing system to be implemented. However it was argued by Professor David Yuen, the Slokasian Bashra system largely relied on the San Fernando dialect of Spainsh and didn't include representation for Mandarin or speakers of indigenous languages. The work of the committee was largely focused on expanding the Slokaisian Language Dictionary from around 1,000 words to about 10,000. These words were often developed from existing words with balance given to major languages. In addition, each Commission member was trained to speak the language during development so issues with grammar could be addressed as they arose. Eventually after 3 year's, the Commission released a report for language implementation with January 1st, 1973 being declared as the start date for it's use as one of the three official languages.
