The Y̊mbẙndẙ Language Debate of 2012

The Y̊mbẙndẙ Language Debate of 2012 was one of Cluff's defining moments...or not. It began when current Bugan president Ansara Starama announced that the Y̊mbẙndẙ language (official as a language in a few provinces) would be taken off the list of Bugan official languages, for no apparent reason. She claims that it's odd grammar and punctuation is obsolete and simple, and that English is waaaaaaaaaaaay better. This caused many Y̊mbẙndẙ speakers to protest.

The Start
The main problems began in February 2012, after Starama was seen having a Bunga Bunga Party with Andraeya Kcraacen, Maxine Lenfi, Miralynn Cluff's Paul Raevhirresz, and The Man in the Orange Coat. After getting drunk and *possibly* on the influence of banana cake, she said several anti-Y̊mbẙndẙ comments, including the insult "Y̊mbån, dẙẙvvẙn kűlẙxjẙt nås kǫşt!" roughly meaning "Scram, you pigeon-flying gnome!" to several of the shorter Y̊mbẙndẙ speakers.

This resulted in her being assaulted by seven dwarves, all of which were arrested and charged with assault.

She later petitioned to eliminate Y̊mbẙndẙ as an official language, making it so all 15,382,499 estimated Bugan speakers would have to learn English against their will. So, Miralynn and Paul spoke against Starama, even parading outside her home with jars of pickles.

The Middle and Pèn Spijne Kijne'al Èskam
The scandal further worsened as Pijis Language Academy member Pèn Spijne Kijne'al Èskam began petitioning to eliminate English from the Bugan Langauge List, claiming it's "unnatural".
