About Ancient Salehqai
Currently undergoing a complete overhaul; any information may be outdated
Ancient Salehqai, as it is dubbed in the Era of Enlightenment, is the language spoken by the Saleh people in the Era of the Wild. While frequently referred to as Gerudo, Saleh/qai is more accurate, as Gerudo is properly used as a collective term for the Saleh (the Wasteland tribe) and the Sorai (the Highland tribe).
(Based on my interpretation of the scraps of Gerudo language present in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.)
