Wakingtongue language

Also known as "Kivish language" or "Stildanian common", Wakingtongue is the dominant language of the Empire of Kizen, the most common commercial language of coastal Stildane, and a direct linguistic descendant of the original language all Kobolds were created knowing. It is considered by many to be a divine language, or at least a magical one, as it is the direct creation of the Gods; it is also closely related to many of the other surrounding languages, which it was made to be mutually intelligible with.   Wakingtongue is still the most commonly understood and widely taught Stildanian language, even if its dialects have drifted rather far from each other. It is also considered one of the core languages of wizardry by many abroad.
