With multiple species, one would naturally believe there are multiple languages. One would be right...kind of. Because nearly the entirety of ASulon is constructed--the planet, the star system, the futa (flora), the thera (fauna), the anSebban (sapients)... the languages and cultures are constructs as well. The common language that is signed--comprised entirely of gestures. Each species language is an offshoot of a common root, initially modified only by speech apparatus. Not every species can physically create the same kind of sounds. This is most evident between the land-based asSEbbanand the oceanic. One of several things to note is that at least two of the anSebban possess a form of telepathy or mind to mind communication. Another sentient species is more empathic than telepathic, that is, sending emotionally focused communication rather than directly thought for thought. There are also multiple non verbal components to the common tongue
