The Murgosh Tongues are primarily spoken in central Aurea. There is evidence of strong Orcish influence (particularly Tan'kol) in all of these tongues, though speakers of the tongues vehemently deny any relationship.

Mitarian
Original article: Mitarian Language

Mitarian is a rare language spoken by an extremely small number of people in the city of Vareshna in Mitaria. Though once spoken throughout the nation, the Imperial Conquest and more recent conquest by the Caledonian clansmen have all but wiped out use of the language.

Murgosh
Original article: Murgosh Language

Murgosh is spoken primarily in Murgosia and Rigania, as well as among human settlers in Schweinholz. The language remained the language of the lower and middle class for centuries in Murgosia, despite Imperial attempts to encourage Zetian as the primary language of the state while under Imperial rule. It is used as something of a trade language in towns on the Brothers, but is extremely rare elsewhere.

Narbar (Extinct)
Original article: Narbar Language

Narbar was the language spoken by the Nabar people of modern-day Narbonne prior to their conquest by Zeth. With the coming of the Empire, attempts to stamp out the Nabar tongue resulted in Narbonais, which is only loosely influenced by its predecessor.

Old Murgosh (Extinct)
Original article: Old Murgosh Language

Old Murgosh was the language spoken in western and central Aurea. It is known by a few rare scholars, but otherwise not used in modern times.

Sonath
Original article: Sonath Language

Sonath is spoken primarily by the humans and half-elves of Anclea and Dreluria. Scholars believe there is a strong elven influence on the language, which lends it a lyrical quality. No small number of bards on Aurea have composed ballads and songs in Sonath and today the language is something of a common tongue to bards across Aurea.

Tangar (Extinct)
Original article: Tangar Language

Tangar was spoken by the ancient, pre-Imperial human kingdoms of western Aurea, including modern-day Anclea and Drallia. It is also believed to have been spoken by humans in the Ride of Tongwr and the Plains of Tazgrat before those lands were overwhelmed by the orcish hordes. Rumors abound of the remnants of a human kingdom beyond the orcish lands called Kadach where Tangar is still spoken. Tangar is the ancestor of Sonath and Tanosian.

Tanosian
Original article: Tanosian Language

Tanosian is spoken in Drussa, Drallia and Scalaro and is not well known outside these nations. Use of the language was all but stamped out in Drussa during the Imperial occupation, but the dissolution of the Great Empire lead to a resurgence in its use, mainly due to increasingly close ties to Drallia.
