Borostimát

Borostimát, literally "Speech of the Borostím," is a the primary language of the Borostím throughout Borost and all adjacent areas.

Borostimát, developed under the rule of Tavres Ilsím, has been spoken among the Borostím for millennia. The language, highly ordered and standardized, has changed little during this time. For this reason, the Borostím may well be the only race of which all members can freely converse with each other.
