About Davar
The Aldarian Empire and the Damar people, who primarily reside in the central region of the Dislarya Kingdom, West Varkosya, and some North-west islands of the Zasætra Sea, such as Vistya, utilize Davar, which is also known as Davaryo, as their official language. Although Davaryo is a Damar language, it has incorporated certain words from other languages, including Pinvian, Tænosian, and even ancient Greek. These loanwords originated during the period when Damar traders interacted with the inhabitants of the city of Nuvra. The estimated number of individuals who speak Davaryo, whether as a first or second language, is approximately 137,000.
