About Qesz Qesz is language spoken on several islands located off the southern coast of the Zekharian Empire. It is a Ceannic language related to  Zekharian and  Cjaëan. Though the native speakers, the Qemedai (singular Qemeda), number only in the hundreds of thousands, a much greater number of people speak it as a second language. It is the lingua franca of maritime trade in the region and is the most commonly heard language in ports, and amongst merchants and pirates.
