Tuartergi, or Taergaledian common

Writing System

Being inspired by Swedish, Latin alphabet describes Tuartergi well, with Ö, Ä and seldom Å included in base writing. Tuartergi is difficult to write in Mihurite scripts, due to the abundance of difficult to pronounce words, which makes Tuarkiri the common academic tongue in Taergaled. Pictographic thinking is very odd to the Southern Kiri, who have an oddly high percentage of dyslexia, as the tongue consists of mainly abstract concepts, which are to be somehow used in a manner which does not 'hide' the truth of the matter. E.g. 'Grand-mother has taken to the land of yon birds, God see to the silver walls of her house.' Meaning 'Grand-mother has died, God keep her soul immaculate.
Adherence has created some odd expressions, and further complicated the tongue.

Geographical Distribution

Taergaled, meaning the lands roughly from Khaerlemmenen Fringe to the Raq'huemean border in the far east by the Great Green. Pockets of natives can be found anywhere a log may float.
