Azalen Language

The Azalen language group is a mutually intelligible group of languages from West Izekra and has been catapulted to trade language status by the Kingdom of Asalay. It is used across Izekra and the central tropics as a trade language, synonymous with wealth and prestige. Coastal cities across Izekra have been known to use mix Azalen names with their own (often with a spin of local pronunciation), and Azalen is studied by any mercenary who hopes to become an adventurer in the golden city of Asalay
