The Farlong Dialect / The Farlongian Rune System

General Knowledge

  The Farlong Dialect was a Language that the Ancients of Farlong spok and wrote, but was lost in the fall of there civilization. The Only remains of the Language can be found in the ruins of Farlong near Fort Northanwood.  

History

  The Farlong Dialect is a variant of the common Terran that focusses on general Terminology rather than naming conventions. Names where descriptions of Character traits instead of unique designations of objects and people. The Language survived some time after the fall of Farlong, but quickly fell out of use since it's harder and more complicated to accurately name or describe something.  

Structure

The Farlong Dialect is structured much like standard Terran with the main difference being that you would your the two most accurate descriptive adjectives to name someone and placing the relevant object or individual at the start of the sentence, in written form these is often replaced with a Rune corresponding to that adjective combination.

Since only the Nobel People of Farlong know how to read and write most commoners would construct entire stories based on the Rune system which slowly turn the Farlong Dialect into the Farlongian Rune System which are used nowadays to define and empower magical concepts. To write i this system you would combine simpel Runes into one complex Rune until it would describe the relevant object action or characteristic, due to this it was easy to differentiate between common discussions and philosophical debates since one would rather casually define a prosses and the other would be made up of extremely complex runes for even the most mundane structures.
