Revision as of 22:11, 22 April 2025
The world of Aloria has many languages. For convenience, we group these languages into families and sort them into tables between which there is some similarity in cultural descent. Knowing one language in a family does not let you understand all the other ones in the family. There are more languages in Aloria not described on this page, either because they are dying and only have a few speakers, or because their associated Lore is not written. If you have a question about it, please consult the Ticket Bot in the Roleplay Community Discord.
The Abbreviation section in each entry describes what to prefix a language with in Roleplay when using it. For example, dialogue marked "<Cal> There is a tree over there." is intended to be read as spoken in the Calem language.
