Languages of Qirsyllviar

Several Languages are spoken by sentient beings across Patria, Zedylric being the most common. The languages of Patria are a series of Substitution Cipher languages using ISO Basic Latin as the base.

Translation Instructions: Each language uses a real language as the base. To translate into the proper language, translate an English word or phrase into the base language and then encode it with the assigned cipher. If the base language has a different written script (e.g. Arabic = Kalaharic) get the phonetics and encode them. Note; several languages, particularly those restricted to individual continents, use the same cipher.

Kalaharic
The language of the ancient Kalahari Caliphate (aka Kalahar), originating in southwestern Aquilonis, where it is mainly spoken. Once widespread at the height of the Kalahari Caliphate, today it is rare to hear it outside that particular region.
 * Base Language: Arabic (phonetics)

Telmarnian
The Language of the Telmarnian Empire. It is one of few Aquilonian languages that survived the spread of Zedylric.
 * Base language: Latin

Gurkarathi
Gurkarathi is the most prominent language in Ingodija. It is spoken widely in the east, but is declining in the west, particularly in Edwardian and Xotil-held lands.
 * Base language: Hindi (phonetics)

Amazoni
The language of the Amazons. Since it is mostly spoken by Amazons, and sometimes those they breed with, it is uncommon to hear the language outside of their home island. Yet little by little the language has been making its way to other areas of Patria, spread mainly by Amazons who have left their home for one reason or another.
 * Base language: Cebuano

Atlantic
Atlantic is the language of the Atlantian people of the Empire of Atlantis. It is primarily spoken in Atlantis, but has seen increasing usage all around Maritymir.

 * Base language: Hmong

Low Nekcrozian
Low Nekcrozian is the main language of Nekcrozian peoples, south of the Eurodian colonies, as well as the natives that live in them. Due to competition between Zedylric and Lizardfolk Scalthori, it is gradually dying out, partially replaced by both languages.

Dawi

 * Base language: English

Elthar
The language of the Elves.

Gargate

Vampiric
Vampiric is the language of Vampires and was their primary language before, during and after the Wallachian Empire. As time went by, more and more vampires switched to Zedylric, until eventually it became the primary language. These days Vampiric is spoken mostly by Narkpior Vampires. Priests of the Vampiric Pantheon, Transylvanian politicians, as well as members of Royalty and the Nobility, learn Vampiric as a second language as well. Only a small handful of other people speak even a small portion of the language.
 * Base language: Latin

Zedylric
Sometimes known as the "Common Tongue"or "New Zedylric," Zedylric is the language evolved from the language of the ancient Zedylrian Empire. Originally it was confined to Zedylria, but as the borders expanded so did the language spread. Travelers and merchants carried the language to all corners of Patria, and over a few thousand years, the language gained popularity until it was spoken across the majority of Patria, both as a Primary Language and as a lingua franca between cultures. Regardless, the are still places where Zedylric is mostly a secondary language, or isn't spoken at all.
 * Base Language: English

Old Zedylric
The ancient form of the Zedylric Language before it evolved into today's language. Bits of it is still spoken in some parts of the world, but has become a endangered language in recent years.
 * Base language: Latin

Centaurian
The language of Centaurs and related races before they adapted to modern societies. The language is no longer spoken by any Centaur on Patria.

Yamatia
Yamatia was the language of the Yamato people before the arrival of Zedylric. The language has since fallen completely out of use in society. While nobody speaks the language anymore, the only people who can read or write the language are those who study pre-Zedylric text.

Animal Languages
Animal Languages, also known as Faunatongues, are languages associated with certain animals and the ability to speak them. The ability to converse with animals is considered a gift by many, though it is extremely rare. It is normally hereditary, but it is known to skip generations, and every once in a while it can pop up in a person, though only one in a million are lucky enough to have the gift.

Known Faunatounges include, but are not limited to;


 * Avetongue: the language of birds
 * Canitongue: the language of canidae (dogs)
 * Equustongue: the language of horses and similar species; sub-language of now-extinct Centaurian.
 * Felitongue: the language of felidae (cats)
 * Serpotongue: the language of serpents
 * Dracotongue: the language of Dragons

Language Rings
Language rings are magical devices invented so that people who do not speak the same language can understand one another without the hassle of learning another language. The default language for these devices is Zedylric, as it is the most widely used language of Patria, but they can be changed.

Notes & Trivia

 * Although the texts in the stories The Silver Bat and The Secret of Garvis is in English, unless someone is stated or shown to be speaking a different language, the spoken language is Zedylric. It should be firmly noted that characters in the stories do not speak in English.
 * Example: The quote "I am the Lunaculus of Eurodon, reborn in the Transylvanian Kingdom as a princess of the Tepes Dynasty." would be "O yf mbu Lunaculus ix Eurodon, lutilg og mbu Transylvanian Dogzwif yk y hlogvukk ix mbu Tepes Wagykma." in Zedylric
 * Note that proper nouns, like Names, do not get translated.
 * The base languages were chosen due to a lack of diacritics; makes transcribing a whole lot easier.
 * To get Old Zedylric, translate an English word, phrase or sentence into Latin and encode it with Zedylric to get Old Zedylric.
 * Each cipher follows this rule; vowels replace vowels, consonants replace consonants. Y isn't always a vowel, so it isn't included in this rule every time.
 * Use either of these Substitution Cipher Sites (here or here) to translate the respective languages.
 * Zedylric, Old Zedylric, Telmarnian, and Vampiric all use the same script, while all other languages use different script.
 * Obyrtitani and Dawi both use Runes for written script.
 * Elthar (the elf language) uses Glagolitic script.
