The following are the most used languages.                Human Languages Trade Language – This language was developed to facilitate trade among the various regions of the Four Land. The use of this language is limited to the bartering and trading of goods and services. Due to its limited nature, it is impossible to discuss or convey complex ideas or conversation with this language. This language is commonly found along the great trade roads, in larger cities, and is spoken by merchants and traders of any stature. Illum – The language known as Illum originated in the “Valley of the Light” and over the years has become the principal language of the Valley as well as the official “Church Language: Northern IIllum – A derivate of Illum, this language as it’s name implies is spoken in the northern reaches of the “Valley of the Light” It is also commonly spoken in the Unclaimed Lands. Southern Illum – A derivate of Illum, this language as its name implies is spoken in the southern reaches of the “Valley of the Light”. It is also spoken in regions and countries laying southeast of the Valley. Northern Gaullic – The Language known as Gaullic is a derivate of the “Old Tongue” and is used commonly in the Borderlands.  Southern Gaullic – The Language known as Southern Gaullic is a derivate of the “Old Tongue” and can be found spoken throughout the lands laying to the southeast of the “Valley” such as “The Republic” and the nation of Gwynedde. Aram – The language knows as Aram is used commonly in the southwest section of the Four Lands. Originating in the kingdom of R’Kassi, this language is very musical to the ears. Old Tongue – The language known as “Old Tongue” is perhaps the oldest human language still spoken. The Old Tongue is primary used through out the Old Forrest and in the more remote portions of the Borderlands. It is also known as the common language of those who cling to the “Old Faith. Confederation – The Language known as “Confederation” originated in the “Confederated States” and is widely spoken in those countries bordering the “Confederate States” as well as those laying to the south west. Dashai – The language know as Dashai is the common tongue of the Dashai Empire. It is a very comply and rich language which is very difficulty to learn as words often change meaning by the inflection given by the speaker. Imperial Dashai - The language called Imperial Dashai is perhaps the oldest and purest form of Dashai spoken. Imperial Dashai is the language of the imperial court, all government officials and of the nobility. Costal Dashai – A derivate of Dashai, this language is spoken along the southeastern costal regions of Dashai..  Other Languages It is known that the various races have their own distinct racial languages, but most are unwilling to share them with the world of mankind. Dwarves are known to have two distinct languages, but the one used within the hearing of mankind has simply been named “Trade Dwarfish”.  Likewise, the Elf’s are known to have four languages which over the years, thanks to the mighty efforts of the “Church” have been identified as being High Eleven, Starlight Eleven, Moonlight Eleven, and Wood Elf. Rumor has it there may well be a fifth elvish language devoted to magic, but as yet it has to be confirmed.</blockquote>
