Aebasan Tongues
The Aebasan tongues are spoken primarily in western Gallorea and the island of Dresta that is usually associated with Aurea. Aebasan itself has been used as a trade language in western Gallorea for centuries.
Aebasan
Though primarily spoken in Aebasa, Feldosha and Pthokos, Aebasan is spoken as a secondary trade language throughout western Gallorea and beyond. Though rare in Duria, even traders in southern Aurea tend to have enough knowledge of the language to conduct business.
Drestan
Spoken primarily in Dallea, Mendar and Thevaste, Drestan is a descendant of Aebasan almost unknown outside the island of Dresta.
Espirian
Spoken primarily in Daciara, Eeridia and Narisia, Espirian is a descendant of Aebasan uncommon outside these three cultures.
Neptaran
A distant cousin to Old Aebasan, Neptaran has developed independently of Aebasan for over two millennia. Spoken primarily by the citizens of the Freecity of Neptaris, the language has become a trade language of southern Duria in the last two centuries, replacing Zetian as the common trade language.
Old Aebasan (Extinct)
Spoken in the distant past, the language remains in written form only in extremely old ruins and fragments. Modern scholars have been unable to translate the language, though it is believed to have been the progenitor not only to modern Aebasan, but to Abarisian, the language of the mages of Abaris.
Taurish
Unique among the languages believed to be descendant from the Ten Tongues, Taurish is the language of centaurs and minotaurs, suggesting some common origin for the two races. It is spoken primarily among the centaurs of the Tarescan Fields and among the minotaurs of Gengel. Some scholars have even suggested that Taurish, not Old Aebasan is the progenitor of all the Aebasan Tongues.
