*-Kalean languages lack the concept of ‘euphemism’ and Kaleans do not waste time being sensitive about sensitive subjects. Besides their trademark arrogance, Kaleans are also known for their ‘matter of fact’ speech patterns in relation to almost anything.

*-Kaleans also have an equal distain for militant cultures or any society where the military has undue influence over the general population.
