Additional Languages

Illiadian languages:

  • Standard Illiadian: The standardized version of Illiadian, with two writing systems; a logographic alphabet for clerical and religious texts which is also mostly used by Ree-Mai, as well as a modern segmental alphabet for everyday use. Spoken mostly by Arrash, Mikaru, Ree-Mai, Rakiakaru and Illiadian Humans.
  • Draconic Illiadian: Draconic Illiadian is the Illiadian dialect spoken by Dorro and Dorro-descended Tirrdaka. It's rougher and less easily flowing compared to Standard Illiadian, but the two languages can be mutually understood with a bit of effort; even though many words aren't quite the same. The Draconic Illiadian alphabet combines logographic and syllabic scripts.
  • Vi'Hai: The Illiadian language of the gods, Vi'Hai is mostly spoken by Illiadian celestial spirits, as well as the deities of the Marble- and Obsidian Cathedrals, as well as their half-mortal children and their Prophets or Saints. The Vi'hai alphabet is completely logographic.

Liwilai

  • Lowlalian: Spoken in the Lowla Republic, and related to Grenwalian and Albian, some people think that Lowlalian sounds a bit like someone speaking common with a full mouth.
  • Grenwalian: Spoken all across the Grenwal Confederate Empire, Grenwalian can sound a bit rough on the ears of foreigners, especially to people speaking languages descended from Rumasian.
  • Elloran: A dialect of Grenwalian spoken in the Duchy of Ellora, with many Caneian influences.
  • Lichtburgish: Only spoken in the County of Lichtburgen in the Grenwal Confederate Empire, and even then, only around the Lichtburgen-region. Lichtburgish is very similar to Lowlalian and Grenwalian, but has its own grammatical rules.

  • Wanila: Only spoken in the Wanilan parts of the Royal Union of Albia, Galon and Wanil, this language is descended from Draconic and sounds a bit rough. Words in this language have a tendency to just... go on...
  • Lughesh: Spoken in the High Lordship of Lugh, Lughesh almost went extinct during Albia's reign over Lugh, when Albian became the main language. Thankfully, preservation efforts paid off, and Lughesh is still the third most spoken language in Lugh after Common and Albian.
  • Corniolan: Spoken across the The Corniola Covenant, this language is often considered the natural successor to Rumasian. There are TONS of dialects with many local differences.
  • Argondian: Spoken in The Principality of Argond, Argondian evolved from the western dialect of Rumasian, but also got a lot of influences from the Abiran language, due to the past colonization of Osé of the region. Also spoken in some parts of Aiyetoa and Aiyekar due to immigration.
  • Caneian: The language of the Kingdom of Canei. Caneian is evolved from Rumasian and has a very soft, flowing sound to it. Its often considered the language of love.

  • Boheiman: Also known as Ziachan, this language is mainly spoken in the Kingdom of Boheim, a part of the Grenwal Confederate Empire.
  • Bursztynian: An eastern-Liwilaian language spoken in the parts of the Kingdom of Bursztyn closest to the capital. It's probably even more consonant-heavy than Grenwalian.

  • Huganian: Spoken in the Kingdom of Hugan, Huganian is a very unique language, with almost no similarities to other Liwilaian languages. Nonetheless, it and Leijonian are related in a way.

  • Medwedian: A very rough language spoken in the rough and cold lands of the Medweda Empire.
  • Rumasian: Now extinct in everyday use, but often used by clerics and even arcanists within their verbal components, Rumasian was the language of The Great Liwilai Empire of old. This dialect of common has since evolved into languages such as Caneian, Luistian, Argondian and Corniolan.

Lagetia

  • Oséana: The language spoken in the capital region of the Osé Sultanate, Oséana surprisingly is not related to Abiran, despite its geographical location.
