Scharde

Many scholars have debated whether the Scharde tongue spoken throughout the Broken Coast and among the denizens of Cryx should be considered its own language or classified as a Cygnaran dialect instead. Because the Nightmare Empire has absorbed people from every mainland kingdom, its language includes words borrowed from Molgur, Morridane, Ordic, Llaelese, and Khadoran. Many traders and sailors of the Broken Coast become passably familiar with Scharde Tongue, if only to make it easier to negotiate with potential captors.
