There are four standard varieties of modern Darvahzhak that is spoken by the ethnic Duryadi speakers, not including its standard form of Literary Darvahzhak, known as Modern Standard Darvahzak, which is derived from Imperial Djehravadic.

(or Thakadbar-Denokharic Darvahzhak), spoken mainly in the northestern Durish Crown Dominion of Denok some southern parts of Takatbar in and some parts of Mekisir Alqinat province. This particular dialect is influenced by the primordial dialects, such as Auran, Aquan, Ignan, and Terran and Nympharum Elvish to a lesser exctent.
Writing System
In -7690 ac, nomads migrated by sea from Ashad to Voyagers Rest, intermingling with a handful of naghron natives survivors, eventually becoming the Duryadi. Centuries later, the language had begun to adapt to the use of its own native writing system, an alphabet with a mixture of simpler Draconic runes and many elements from Classical Sham'hrie and Gnollish which themselves were heavily influenced by the primordial dialects, such as Auran, Aquan, Ignan, and Terran, and even abyssal respectively.

Geographical Distribution
The language originates in the Turabahr Desert, (Voyagers Rest) but has spread from there along with ethnic migration. Also, the cultural exchange has shifted it somewhat closer to the more common amalgam of language that is somewhat intelligible between at least larger meeting places in the world.
Phonology
Morphology
There is no grammatical gender in modern Darvahzhak, and pronouns are not marked for natural gender. In other words, in Darvahzhak, pronouns are gender-neutral. When referring to a masculine or a feminine subject, the same pronoun Yhl is used (pronounced "ou", ū) Exceptions to this generality are few and debatable, for example anaphoric she referring to ships, machines, and countries (see below). Another manifestation of natural gender that continues to function in Common (English) is the use of certain nouns to refer specifically to persons or animals of a particular sex: widow/widower, postman/postwoman etc.
