Litian [edit] [view] Litlen kewomi (Upper Litian)Litian is spoken in various dialects depending on geography as well as social class. It was after some of the litian peoples migrated to the more mountainous territory to the north of the litian bay and slowly form an independant state that the litian language started diverge between the "upper" litian of the poorer mountainous lands and the "lower" litian of the more prosperous coastal areas. Since this is the first dialect to diverge from lower litian, it is the most different from it.
