About Musreen
Musreen is a language spoken in the Three Holy Kingdoms, but primarily Egypt and to a lesser extent the Miscellaneous States (Maghreba, Tunisia, Darfur, etc) as Arabic is more common in Arabia and Greek is more common in Jerusalem.
It rose among the peasantry of Cairo during the 13th and 14th centuries influenced by Greek and Latin due to the large influx of Greek traders from Byzantium as Egypt was Catholic by then (and Byzantium had been Catholic for centuries prior). After Sultan Qaylakh ibn Fiqna ar-Ra'ubiniyyah (Cailech Ua Rubann) rose to power in 1415, he began to enforce the language on peoples he conquered in an effort to remove all traces of Islamic identity. Although his efforts were not so successful in this regard, the language did begin to gain traction naturally and today is in the top 10 most spoken languages in the world.
