Navalede

Navalede is the most widespread language spoken by the Núrakic Elves in western Adynía, serving as a common tongue within the Kingdom of Núrak. It's also used by Þígeans and Nartens living in the region.
Originally spoken in the kingdom of Navalen in northwestern Núrak, it gradually spread as Navalen made military alliances with the surrounding núrakic countries to stave off enemy kingdoms in Nemirkía and the Meldon Plain to the east, until it became the official language of the unified kingdom.

Writing System

Written navalede uses an alphabet based on ancient zameltonían hieroglyphs like most scripts in central and western Adynía, though it's the only one that still uses different versions of each letter depending on whether it's the first, last or in the middle of a word.

Geographical Distribution

Navalede is spoken throughout Núrak and westernmost Nemirkía, and to lesser extend in certain towns and cities within the Sikíron Empire.

Vocabulary

Navalede's vocabulary is very similar to that of the other núrakic languages, though it contains quite a few loanwords from þígean and -to much lesser extend- záali tongue.
