About Ayleidoon
Ayleidoon was the language of Cyrodiilic and Skyrim High Elves (with a known register among the Falmer), who are/were known as Ayleids. It was the third language to branch off of the eight or so known Aldmeric languages, with Dwemeris being the first (if Dwemeris is an Aldmeric language at all). It's lexicon and phonology is fairly different from the Bosmeris, Dunmeris, and Altmeris languages.
