Languages
Everything is a fascination. The word for boar or pig can come out as a brutish ugly thing or silly and amusing, some could even find a way to make it sound elegant as if talking of the Emperor's nickers. But I prefer to think of things like this. A fascination.
In all the world there is nothing that stops one from talking just understanding. The various languages as well as dialects are explained below. There are twelve main common languages, a few dialects for them as well as people likely to know how to speak it or at the very least understand some of it.
Common
- Originators: Human
- Who Speaks it: Almost everyone
- Dialects: N/A
- Information: Forced to be the common langue once Emperor Dominkus came into power and began reworking how the world worked or at least trying too.
Uukic
- Originators: Fjorn
- Who Speaks it: Fjorn, Ezana, Northern Mercenaries
- Dialects: Uukicva
- Information: The harsh sounding and pride infused worse of the north-men is a rough and guttural language. While there is a dialect that is herald in Vjorn it is mostly interchangeable with the mother language as it is only shorten phases for things, this dialect is mostly spoken by Fjorn.
Wassina
- Originators: Ezana
- Who Speaks it: Ezana, Traders, Merchants
- Dialects: Baes'Wassina
- Information: Not taught really to those seen as outsiders, for those who actually put in work to learn of the Ezana people are often welcomed into the fold and taught there tongue. While Baes'Wassina is the tongue of the Bae'Ezana or Beast Boys as they are commonly called, is vastly different than it's mother tongue, so much so unless you were born and raised as an Ezana, though even then some Ezana never take to it or care to learn it.
Elvish
- Originators: Elves
- Who Speaks it: Elves, Ezana, Hermits, Druids, Mages
- Dialects: N/A
- Information: Used in a lot of spell work and rituals, often toted as the language of the the Eidolons. There are a few dialects but none really stand apart from the mother tongue enough to be counted.
Ilan
- Originators: Falkovian
- Who Speaks it: Falkovians
- Dialects: N/A
- Information: Out of the two other Elven languages Ilan is the closests to Elvish though it is still not close enough to understand. Currently only the Falkovians can speak it.
Is'iya
- Originators: Drassi
- Who Speaks it: Drassi, TSB Orcs, TSB Draconians
- Dialects: Ishi and Alth'Is'iya
- Information: Spoken by the dark ones it is only really known by them and thier ilk. Ishi is a lesser more informal dialect spoken by the Lesser Drassi and TSB Orcs, while Alth'Is'iya is psoken by the upper crust of Drassi soceity as well as the TSB Draconians since they are around them more often than their TSB Orc counterparts.
Dwarven
- Originators: Dwarf*
- Who Speaks it: Dwaves, Ezana, Some Orcs, Some Dracovians, Merchants who deal directly with the Dwarves
- Dialects: Stone Cutter, Deep Dwarven
- Information: A harsh and stubborn language to tame but if one can get their tongue to submit it is an interesting spoken word. Stone Cutter speak is often short quick and revolve around mining, cutting stone, carving stone, it is more a written language than spoken, though the phrases have been cut down to make order forms shorter, while Deep Dwarven is a less harsh tongue, it is often spoken like one would sing a song, the phrases and words stretched out into a melody which is often said to be quite beautiful.
Orcish
- Originators: Orc
- Who Speaks it: Orcs, Ezana
- Dialects: Imperial Orcish
- Information: It is said the gnashing of Orc tusks sounds more pleasant than the spoken word of their kind. Imperial Orc removed as much harsh sounds as possible it is really not in a lot of use as it was something the late Emperor forced down the throats of the male Orcs he used, seeing them as too dumb to be able to fully understand Common.
Elosa
- Originators: Lyran
- Who Speaks it: Lyran, Ezana, some Lycans, some Lamia
- Dialects: N/A
- Information: Rolled Rs, purrs, and chuffs are just a few of the noises added into the spoken word of the Lyran people. It is a difficult language to learn and even understand as something off in a trill at the end of a word and it could mean something entirely different.
Tirish
- Originators: Lycan
- Who Speaks it: Lycan, Ezana, some Lyran, some Orc
- Dialects: N/A
- Information: Growls, snarls, and even yips are some sounds added into their words or grammar to change or express words. Like Lyran it is difficult to learn for the same reasons of the wrong cannidid noise can change the syntacs or meaning of a word.
Dra'covis
- Originators: Draconian
- Who Speaks it: Draconians, Ezana, Mountaineers
- Dialects: Ikina
- Information: Unlike the other beast languages there are no growls or creature noises to punctuate or shift the understandings of a word, though the position or tilt of ones head can change a friendly greeting to a hostile one. Ikina isn't a true dialect but the Dracoinans often share their space with Harpy Dragons, their language has evolved to be something resembling Dra'covis as such has seen to take on as a parent language.
Uxati
- Originators: Lamia
- Who Speaks it: Lamia, Ezana, Slavers
- Dialects: N/A
- Information: A very flowing language that is spoken not only by vocal cords but also tail movements, those who do not have a tail that can move as a Lami's can they substitute with hand movements. While not perfect it is more than satisfactory for most Lamia while others can tend to ignore someone and wait for a translator to speak for the non-Lamia.
