Languages of Veth Alesian Alesian. Ankenah Ankenah is less a language and more a magical system! Created by Tekhem "Ankenahotep" as-Tyrakhon, this system of glyphs aims to distill the essence of the world and universe into linguistic forms. Its daughter language, Najjira, is the native language of the Najjira people. Aslar The Aslar is native to the kingdom of Aslar (which is famous for its tradition of electing a new king each year and beheading the old one). Assi Assi is the language of the deeply spiritual and very ferocious Assi tribesmen of the Nie River Valley. Arangothek Arangothek is the official language of Arangoth and Drache, in which BDI itself is located. Common Better known to us as English, this is the most commonly used language in both BDI and in active play in general. Griffon Spoken widely in Griffon's Aerie and in any place where its people congregate, Griffon is quite commonly heard in both Drache and any other large port town.

Languages with bolded names have (a) usable and learnable writing system(s). Ankenah Ankenah, the magical language which spawned modern Najji, originally used a set of ideographs to try and capture the essence of the universe in order to distill it into something understandable and usable by human beings. Arangothek Arangothek has its own writing, which you can see explained here. Assi The Assi language apparently uses a system of ideograms. Teldanar The desert-living Teldanar use an as-of-yet-unexpounded-upon heiroglyphic writing system.
