Linguistics and history are two of my strongest interests. I thought it'd be fun to puzzle out the language families of Calradia. I can't make images on my phone so I wrote it all out. I'm sure at least part of it is wrong.
The Mountain languages are inspired by Slavic and consist of Sturgian and Vaegir.
The Northern languages are pseudo-Germanic and come from Nordland. Vlandian is the tongue spoken by the adventures who first conquered western Calradia. It eventually evolved into Swadian, which over the centuries fractured into a Swadian proper and Rhodok dialect/descendant. Old Nord was the language of those who were left behind by the ancestral Vlandians and evolved into modern Nord. Old Nord greatly influenced Sturgian and formed the basis of the Skolderbroda dialect.
The Calradic family consists of the Latin-like Calradic and Celtic-based Battanian languages, which are loosely related.
The Forest family is the smallest and oldest. It's inspired by Finno-Uralic and is spoken only by the Sons of the Forest during the fall of the Empire.
The Nahasan family is basically Semitic with a system of triliteral roots. It consists of Aserai, its Jawwal nomad dialect, and the modern Sarranid.
The nomadic clans of the Grass Sea speak basically the same common Turco-Mongol inspired tongue with their own tribal dialects. The Khuzait, Arkit, and Nachaghan are each independent branches. The Khergit subfamily is larger and consists of Old Khergit, its ultraconservative sister Karakhergit, and its modern form.
