Sagaviri Languages

The Sagaviri Language (Sagaviri: Sagavir Serilak; IPA:/saː.ɣʌ.viə seː.rɪl.ak/) is spoken throughout large swathes of Southern Alteniquia. It is one of the most well-known languages of Rathnir. It is often known as the "Asteri of Alteniquia" (meaning that the Sagaviri Language is just as impactful as Asteri, not in the sense that they are related).

History
The Sagaviri (originally named "Morothonian" by Sven, renamed later by Sedail) language has its roots in the Asaran peoples of prehistoric Sironia. Following the arrival of the prophet Temion, this powerful tribe converted to Sakrelism and began to send out missionaries to the surrounding Shironlirak people, eventually annexing them, beginning the rise of the Sagaviri Empire. Ancient Sagaviri began to serve as a common tongue between the tribes of Shironlirak and Asara.

Syntax
The southern strains of the language generally follow the Subject - Object - Verb (SOV) grammatical syntax, however, the northern group - most closely tied to or derived from old noble strains of the precursor language, such as Sironian or Thenian - remain followers of the Subject - Verb - Object (SVO) grammatical syntax.

Dialects
There are currently three extant branches of the Sagaviri language: Sironviri, Adaviri, and Lapidoviri (what about Vanakuniri?). Adaviri is restricted to the northern parts of Adavia; Lapidoviri is spoken in the County of Volstronn and the city of Boreavir; and Sironviri is composed of the Standard Sironian dialect in Sironia and the Fusciniviri dialect of Fuscinivir (southwestern Theionikos).
