Some examples of how I handle this in my setting:COMMONThe common tongue has been in use for several thousand years, and is the preferred trade language of those who travel between nations. Most educated peoples speak common in addition to their national language. Anyone who has a business or trade that brings them into common contact with travelers from outside their own lands will speak common.VENDIIVendii is the traditional language spoken by the Vendii peoples, those who mainly dwell in the western realms of Sivaris, Nyrithia and Glasur, and to a lesser extent in Adolia, Hellis and Volnn. For the most part, the Vendii are a proud people, and prefer to speak in their own tongue over common or other languages.DRACONICDraconic is the national language of the Uldarr Empire, though it is not nearly as prolific outside of that realm’s borders. Still, it is a major language on Ailioth, if only because of the sheer size of the Uldarri realm.FARONELLSpoken by various clans and tribes of northmen, Faronell is most heavily spoken in Rhaynis, Ukul and to a lesser extent in Hellis. The dialect spoken in Ukul is heavily seeded with orcish and goblin words, and difficult to understand for anyone who speaks plain Faronell. The Reavers of Frostfall have been noted as speaking a dialect of Faronell as well.AMPHARSpoken by the Ampharan peoples that inhabit the southwestern portion of Ailioth, Amphar is commonly spoken in Ophidia, Tarus, Jathara and Ampharus. Maybe that will give you guys some ideas. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> And if you want me to mind my own business, just tell me to!</blockquote>
