Anseri

Anseri is a language that is primarily used by the Answerin race.

• It is a Central language.

Description (Specifications)

The original group of humans whom the Ancients transplanted from Terra probably spoke one language. Language diverged as groups took up new locations on Answerin. Eventually they spoke several different dialects which were only vaguely intelligible to speakers of another dialect.

War and conquest eventually reduced the number of dialects to four. They are commonly known as North, South, East, and West Answerin, based more or less on their original locations. The present world government had its basis in the nation which spoke North Answerin. Together with some Vilani borrowing, this language became the world’s official language. Galangic has had little influence on the North Answerin tongue.
