The Ten Tongues of Man

Adan-Halic Tongues

Spoken primarily in eastern Gallorea, the Adan-Halic Tongues are descendants of the ancient Balguri tongue, spoken in the Empire of Balguran.

Adan

Adan is spoken primarily in Adanar, Nadera, Perivel and Valduran, with no small number of speakers in Thet and Hartland. It is rarely used outside these regions eastern Gallorea. It is known by some scholars as Southern Balguri, a reference to its Balguri roots.

Balguri (Extinct)

Balguri was the language of the Empire of Balguaran in eastern Gallorea before it fell some seven centuries ago. While still known by some scholars and researchers who specialize in Balguric history, it is not used by any modern cultures.

Halic

Halic, a close relative of Adan, is spoken primarily in Halgard, Haleland, Hartland, Oridal and the Pale Marches. It is known by some scholars as Northern Balguri, a reference to its Balguri roots. Some traders beyond these regions that work extensively in Halic lands know a smattering of Halic.

Thesh

An offshoot of Balguri spoken primarily in Thet and Scythia, rarely used outside those regions.

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 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.

Espirian

Spoken primarily in Daciara, Eeridia and Narisia, Espirian is a descendant of Aebasan uncommon outside these three cultures.
