Ordic

The modern descendant of Tordoran, Ordic is the most widely spoken language of the Ordic people, many of whom are multilingual. The Ordic lexicon includes many Thurian words, as well as a number of Orgoth terms. Numerous words have been borrowed from a variety of languages, likely as a result of Ord’s status as a melting pot filled with seafaring people of all cultures. Ordic is notable as the source of many widely accepted nautical terms, which are familiar to sailors of all nations.

High Tordoris is an Ordic dialect spoken by some of the castellans of Ord. An extension of the original Tordoran language, High Tordoris eschews words borrowed from Thurian. It employs many compound words to express concepts that are simpler in the prescriptive Ordic language, but it is seen by some as a “purer” language suited for artful speaking.
