It is a language associated with the ethnic Cordans, spoken through history long before the development of High Cordovan by the Church of Law. It is brisk and flowing when spoken, placing an almost breathless quality on the speaker. Its status within Cordova remains confined to informal settings, used for civil dealings and matters of personal closeness not unlike Low Mordentish elsewhere in the Core, however, Vulgar Cordovan is more popular for its artistic qualities, often used in poetry and fiction where High Cordovan would be considered too structured and inflexible. <code>[Middle Greek]</code></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>==== High and Low Mordentish ====</div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>==== High and Low Mordentish ====</div></td></tr> </table>
