Kasten Language

The Kasten language group is the dominant group of dialects used in Southern Stildane. Forged from a mishmash of local dialects during the 200s, this group varies a bit from Eketen to Arvarun but is mostly mutually intelligible. The language of coastal Kasteny is considered the most sophisticated and useful for commerce, and it has mixed a great deal with the Eastern Eketeni variant in the last few centuries.
