Dialects

From Legacy of Auria
Jump to navigationJump to search

The common language of Auria was created as a gift from the Gods to mortalkind to grant them the ability to speak fluently between species. Despite the language being used unanimously across the galaxy, dialectic spins of the language have been made by the differing races which inhabit the world. These dialects make minor but noticeable differences in the way certain races speak and express themselves and their unique cultures.

Chronos Dialect

Spoken mainly by the Senkh of Livanin, though reserved for other lesser races like the Zhadeva and those dwelling the desert like the Sunstalkers, the Chronos Dialect has ancient influences, beginning as early as the Senkhs' own existence. Runic influence can be felt greatly in the dialect.

Elven Dialect

Elven is a dialect spoken by the races of the Wylderin - Elves, Wolfen, Dryad and Fairies. It mixes the standards of Aurian with the multiple races that make up the faction.

The dialect also features multiple regional variations - Fer'Anarian is the first and most common Elven that is spoken in the central regions of Tranquilon; In'Fidisarian is spoken towards the western coasts and islands; Ash'Magnarian is spoke towards the north and is the least common as it is spoken primarily by those living in the mountains.
