Languages of Scandiaca

There are numerous languages spoken throughout Scandiaca. The most common human languages are listed below.

Scai
This is considered the "common" language around the continent. In fact, Scai is usually referred to simply as the common tongue. Despite its description as a human language, Scai is spoken by most humanoid species in urban areas.

Eruben
The official language of the Eruben empire, Eruben was widely spoken by many nations during the Halcyon age. Since the Eruben culture touched all corners of the map, its language became the most common tongue of the time. Although no longer an official language, it is the most common of the "dead" languages in Scandiaca.

Prostini
The language of the Prostern people was far reaching before the Eruben language took over the continent. Prostini was spoken by most of the peoples in the southeastern portion of the continent, including the southern and eastern island nations. It is still in use today by many isolated tribes in the south east.

Jagan
The people from central Scandiaca spoke Jagan. It was spoken as far north as Kingsburgh, and all the way south to Elarios as well. It is still a traditional language for many of the people who migrated away from Three Rivers.

Montri
This harsh sounding language originated from the western islands and the extreme southwest corner of Scandiaca. Many of the hills people still use it as their primary language, but there are no large population centers that use it as their everyday language.

Oddra
Perhaps the most complex language that achieved popularity in Scandiaca, Oddra was spoken by numerous northern tribes. It has many dialects, although all of them are generally similar to the base language.

Ridi
The collection of tribes in the northern lands near Aedok and Norvino spoke a common language. It is one of the oldest languages which have not changed since its origins. The Ridi language is still used as an unofficial tongue for the "native" population in the area.
