Aréte

Aréte is a branch language of the Asteri Niedene language in the Proto-Niedene Language family, which originated in ancient Hemnoré. The language is almost exclusively spoken by Niedene citizens of The Kingdom of Aurora, and residents of the Western Island of Tessel. Other remaining Aréte speaking regions have either switched over to the much more dominant Asteri language, or gone extinct.

Prior to the establishment of Aurora, Aréte was exclusively spoken within Escharia, primarily by members of the Order of The Aurora on the Western island of Tessel. Following The Order's exile from Escharia, and the founding of The Kingdom of Aurora, Aréte became the primary and official language for the government and most citizens of Aurora. Aréte is still the official government language of Aurora, however many citizens of the Kingdom tend to speak a combination of the Imperial Uldarashi language and Aréte, leading to many non-Niedene citizens speaking what is referred to as Auroran Creole.
