Traveler's Tongue

The Traveler's Tongue, often times called Common is a constructed language used by many people throughout Rathnir and more recently Eldham as a lingua franca. It is by far the most widely spoken language in the world.

The language is claimed to be created in large part by Athaz the Traveler, who noticed a common problem with many people throughout the world that they could hardly understand each other, thus making diplomatic disputes extremely common, with even wars erupting between two groups over mutual misunderstanding. The solution, therefore, would be the creation of a new neutral conlang that hopefully all could understand. He placed together a twenty-six letter alphabet, combining aspects (vowels, consonants, grammar, etc.) of multiple languages he had encountered, and constructed this new language called "Traveler's Tongue", eventually going around teaching various peoples on how to use it. It was due to Athaz's efforts that the language spread quite quickly, not to mention how easy it was to learn and utilize it.

In opposition to this, the Niedene scholars claim that the Jagdasians spoke a similar tongue along in their homeland along with their native ones. Other Niedene scholars claim the language originates from Rathnir but spread to Jagdas through unknown means, the main point however is that it is widely disputed among the Eastern Academic Community.

The Aurlûnor Velande became the last nation on Rathnir to be exposed to the language on a massive scale, mostly due to it's isolation during the Golden Age of the nation.

Out-of-character purpose
The Traveler's Tongue was actually a term created by Coffeeccubus due to the fact that many people use English throughout the World. Previously before Coffeeccubus, many argued that it would be highly difficult and impractical to use their conlangs to communicate with each other, although a few users did agree that it is strange (lorewise) that there was no explanation for how people understood each other. On 4 July 2021, the Traveler's Tongue would be created to hopefully give a in-lore reason why people can understand each other despite being from different cultures. The language is basically semi-Shakespearian English, due to how many people in character seemingly introduce themselves using thy, thee and nay whenever Cofffeeccubus roleplays with another person who tries to communicate with their character, Sareariel Lelya-Earcala. However, it also uses Modern English, as many had seen words from modern English being used in roleplay. The language is also a reference to Esperanto on the "constructed part" except it has "succeeded".
