Trigedasleng

Trigedasleng, sometimes shortened to Trig, is the language spoken by the earth-born people, the clans of Mid-Atlantic United States, known as Grounders. Trigedasleng translates to "forest language", it originated with the Trikru clan and doesn't have its own writing system. Trigedasleng is the common tongue for the various Grounder clans, but is not the only language they use.

Description
Trigedasleng is descended from a heavily accented dialect of American English which has evolved rapidly over three generations. For example, "get knocked down" is "ge smak daun," which sounds like "get smacked down" and "stop" is "hod op," which sounds similar to "hold up."

Its development was also influenced by an early code-system that was developed shortly after the Nuclear Apocalypse. For instance, "mother" got changed to "number one" which later became "nomon".

In "Wanheda", it was mentioned in a flashback that Kent Griffin had to learn Trigedasleng, unlike other Grounder children who spoke their first words in Trigedasleng. Kent spoke his first word in "Gonasleng" which is the Trig term for regular English. Throughout his childhood, Kent would continue to speak fluent English and had to be taught Trigedasleng. Titus, the Commander's Flamekeeper, theorized that it was due to Kent's origin from the sky. Kent's adoptive mother, Anya, presumed the reason was that Kent was meant to be an astounding warrior like herself and Lexa.
