Gael Languages

From FeyworldWiki

The Gael Languages are spoken by disparate clansmen across the world, a fact which leads many scholars to suggest that they are derived from an original human tongue. They therefore place Gael languages outside the Ten Tongues of Man. Others suggest that Gael was spoken by nomadic tribesmen of the distant past who did not lose their language when they settled across the continents. More recently, the druids have told the story that, to punish mankind for wars at the conclusion of the Second Age of Man, the Tuatha de Dannan cursed most of humanity with the Ten Tongues, leaving some remote areas uncursed. Debate continues as to why isolated peoples from disparate parts of the world speak such similar languages.

Calmergh Teanga
Original article: Calmergh Teanga

Calmergh Teanga is spoken by the clansmen of the Calmerian Marches and by slaves taken from the Marches in Lun Dorak. Strangely, of the Gael Languages, Calmergh Teanga is most similar to Llanyeon Teanga, spoken in northern Aurea.

Llanyeon Teanga
Original article: Llanyeon Teanga

Llanyeon Teanga is spoken by the people of Donnagh Saoristat, Gyneiniog, Lothaven, Ywys and the clansmen of the Challieann Mountains. For reasons that baffle scholars, Llanyeon Teanga is most similar to Calmergh Teanga, spoken by the Gaels of Duria.

Hagerian Teanga
Original article: Hagerian Teanga

Hagerian Teanga is the language spoken by the clansmen of Hageria.

Ludaeg Teanga (Extinct)
Original article: Ludaeg Teanga

Ludaeg Teanga was once spoken in Luderea, though it has long since been replaced by Ludan. As the language was not known to have been written down by its native speakers, the only known remnants of the language are in place names and references to the language in ancient texts.

Uaine Teanga
Original article: Uaine Teanga

Uaine Teanga is spoken by the savage cannibals of the Green Isle. It is almost unintelligible to even other Gael speakers and is assumed to have been corrupted from Llanyeon Teanga.
