Eiresiren
The language of Eiresire, home of the Eiresirens. The tongue and writing system is vastly different from the neighboring kingdoms of Yorutoshi and Coruscare's. A demonstration is in order.
A simple sentence, "I'm going to the market, do you need anything?"
In Coruscaren it would be, "Ego eo ad forum, vos postulo facere quicquam?" and it would be written as such.
In Yoruian it would be, "Watashi wa ichiba ni ikimasu, anata wa nani mo hitsuyōdesu ka?" which would be written as, 私は市場に行きます、あなたは何も必要ですか.
Eiresieren is quite different. Spoken, that sentence would read as, "" and written in the regions hieroglyphic system as,
A complex language with strong stops with the consonants; a hard 'ch' 'ta', 'te' 'tut', 'nep', etc. The common speech practices also include a pattern in which one would speak to those of a higher social rank, mostly with the noble class and those of high rank amongst Casters, especially those within the Necromancy priesthood.
It is one of the most popular languages amongst Necromancers, considered the language of Death. This requires most young death mages to learn the language in order to communicate amongst themselves and cast their spells. Those who work closely with Necromancers also learn the language, whether they simply work in the various temples scattered around the world or find themselves as members of the non-magic priesthood.
There is also the complex system of hieroglyphs that make up their writing system. Some represent whole words while others are only sounds or stand for some idea, such as the concept of how magic stems from the soul of a person. This makes it tricky for foreigners to learn and stressful for young Necromancers trying to master it so they can in turn master their magic.

This is a massive work in progress for me and I am working on actually going into detail as to how the language is structured and how the writing system works. Some inspiration will come from Egyptian hieroglyphs for the written language while the spoken I am more uncertain of but I will figure it out, eventually. Thanks for reading this work in progress!
