About Morytian
Morytian is the largest language spoken in the world of Tharaz (Morytian word for "the world"). The language has undergone over seven thousand years of change and alteration. The people who speak it hail from the northwestern part of the Üzanak continent where multiple countries have adopted different Morytian dialects as their native tongue. While all these people call themselves Morytian, the true heart of the Morytian culture lies in the kingdom of Morytia. Here, the language has flourished greatly and transformed the small village tongue into the main lingua franca of western Üzanak. Those who do not learn a Morytian dialect as their primary language, usually pick up the central dialect of the language as a secondary language. You should see Morytian as either the Latin or English equivalent in Tharaz as it is both widely used and highly important to the world culture as a whole.
