Languages

A number of languages are spoken in Borost. Three main linguistic families appear to have developed in the land: the Chtzul to the north, Borostimat in the center, and numerous related Southerly languages in the South.

Dwaerkar
The Dwaerkar speak a number of dialects, all of which are a branch of the primary Dwaerkar language.

Original
The Original dialect is now defunct, and is seldom found but in historical sources.

Contemporary scholarly and theological documents utilize the Aalderdwaer dialect.

Aalderdwaer
Aalderdwaer, literally "Ocean-Dwaer," is the most influential of the dialects. It traces its origins to the first Dwaerkar inhabitants of Borost, for which reasons it has become associated with the Ocean.

Aalderdwaer is primarily spoken in Tielsland, the Homeland. This includes cities as important as Ouwestad and Terbrug.

Boreal tongues
The Boreal tongue is the former language of the Kingdom of Man to the North. It originally developed in the south, and was borne northwards by migration. There, through interaction with Borostimat and the language of the Chtzul, it became differentiated from the Austral tongues.
