About Standard Imperial Alteian

Welcome!
A language considered the scholar's speech in the world of Kélas (so basically Latin). Once one of the most widely spoken languages before almost perishing in the Lísic Conquest that made the Empire fall. Alteians were forced to retreat south where 
Rashari began to form, slowly securing the southern coast of the continent as well as its position as a de-facto official language of the region. Its "vulgar" variant, Lower Alteain Register, is the predecessor of 
Kalish Rasanian, 
Sennic Rasanian and 
Mainland Suteiran.
