Gene Wolfe's _The Citadel of the Autarch_. To quote the most
incisive part of Severian's summary:

I learned how difficult it is to eliminate the urge for
expression. The people of Ascia were reduced to speaking only
with their masters' voice, but they had made of it a new
tongue, and I had no doubt, after hearing the Ascian, that by
it he could express whatever thought he wished.

I suspect the people of Unicodia could express it better, though.

Where does that leave the people of Ebcdicia?

On a different map.
