Languages in the Magus Conclave

Languages of the Magus Conclave can be separated into two broad categories; the Terrestrial and the Planar. The Terrestrial Languages, for the most part, still see Day usages in some Satrapies, or amongst individual communities. The use of Planar languages are generally restricted to academic usage, but can be found in some academic texts, which can make them useful for academics, mages and clerics, and as some are the antient root of modern Terrestrial Languages, are a particular hobby of Linguists.

The official language of Magus Conclave, is Magus Common, more commonly referred to as Common, of which several dialects exist. Commonly recognised Celestial and Terrestrial languages are listed below, although it is important to note the existence of other historical, rare and outlawed languages, as well as those in usage in particular communities. Common Sign is in usage in the deaf and hard of hearing communities of both the Conclave and Corsene, existing across political boundaries, and has it's roots in Miner's Sign used by the Dwarves of the Shield Mountains. Thieves Cant and Druidic are both frowned upon areas of study, and often considered evidence of unsavoury associations. While Thieves Cant is often associated with criminals, Druidic is frowned upon in the Mageria for it's association with The Wild Hunter, and considered with caution, superstition and respect even in Blood Forest, which typically takes little stock of Magia Sensitivities.

Of historical languages, Giant exists in historical record, but appears to have seen limited usage even in centuries past - and may more accurately be considered a dialect of Primordial. Historical records also indicate languages in common usage by corvids, particularly the crow and raven as well as Giant Eagles and Giant Elk, though it is unclear if this is mere fantasy and fable, an artefact of magical communication or true language. Similarly the Language of Sphinx is reported in stories, but no record or speakers of the language are known. Languages of Gnoll, Gith, Arikokra, Thri-Keen and others are also acknowledge, though they are generally considered 'in danger' due to their limited spread, and the limited size of their communities make opportunities to study and learn these languages rare outside of their traditional communities.
