Foreign Languages in RP

[Euca]

So this is has been having me wondering for a long time.

If you're RPing a Rheinlander, you'd naturally put words such as "Ja", "Nein" and "Gut" where it fit. But what if you were talking to a fellow Rheinlander? Should you still use German words if the other character within RP is Rheinlandic too? Because the intention of the foreign words are too create a barrier between nationalities and immerse yourself within RP. So, if you were talking to a friendly Space German, surely you'd just speak fluent English because they are within this nationality you've created by inputting foreign languages?

I don't even know if people understand what I'm saying, but hopefully you do

I'd avoid using the word race in such context. It doesn't fit.

[sindroms]

I'd say even using things like the example you gave is overused and unfunny.

i think the word you are looking for is Nationality.

IMHO you would still use the foreign words with someone of your houses nationality.

edit:
* Sabru points down at katana's post.

that too.

"Ja", "Nein", "Gut", "Mein Herr" etc... those words that are basic, like "Konnichiwa" in Japanese, Let's say the respecting and saluting words are regularly and naturally used if you're RPing a Rheinlander/Kusarian etc..
Although It's very disliked (I think also banned) that you talk in full German when other people are around, as it harms the role-play while other people may not understand what you're saying, So only basic words that are pretty much known to most people are preferred to be used, even if you're in an outside space you may use those words.

Edit: don't know if this is what you meant, But this what I understood from you.

The intention is to be as stereotypical as possible and offend as many pepple as you can in the shortest time. That includes using the word race when you mean nation, just to annoy Strichev.

*thick foreign accent* Welcome to Rheinland, Libertonian! Prepare to be obliterated in the name of the Gottkanzler.

This is how you avoid using the obnoxious "zhe".

Huh, I didn't mean to be so rude Lemme just edit that post. A lot.

I don't mean speaking in full sentences of said language, I understand that's a banable offense. But, you did kinda answer my, uh, unique and dumb question anyway
