'''Haiku''' is a traditional Japanese poetry form essentially consisting of three lines of 5-7-5 syllables, respectively. In modern localizations, the people from towns modeled after [[Japan]], such as [[Jipang]] and [[Hotto]], tend to speak almost exclusively in it. As accents are used liberally in modern localizations (Romarians speak with Italian accents and Portogans speak with Portuguese accents), the invention of haiku speech may have been intended to avoid evoking the history of anti-Japanese propaganda. | '''Haiku''' is a traditional Japanese poetry form essentially consisting of three lines of 5-7-5 syllables, respectively.
