(Real World Inspiration: None)
Old Oeridian: Ancient language spoken before the Great Migration, completely free of outside influences until after that time. Its grammar is thus unique and almost impossible to translate into any language other than Common. Many of the books, records and holy texts of the Aerdi were written in it. Dialects include:
Ferral: Secret tribal language, used by officials within the Iron League, purely for command and identification purposes and is more a set of code words than a true, surviving dialect. A "magic-laced" version of the dialect has been attempted to protect the arcane secrets of the Scarlet Brotherhood.
Keolandish: Spoken around Keoland, Gran March, and the Yeomanry. A dialect that is based directly on Old Oeridian, with local variants.
Velondi: Tribal language spoken by rural people along the Furyondy-Veluna border, more so in Veluna. No written form.
SCRIPTS
Common Alphabet: Default alphabet.
Pictographic: Pictographs and Icons correlating to words or phrases in Common. Designed to facilitate, commerce and diplomacy. Not likely to fund many things beyond the practical -- such as poetry, medical treatises or technical treatises -- written in it.
