Language

The Spraecha cut for chisel and grain: Stormharbor's formal letterforms.

One language is spoken in the Known World. There is no second one, there never has been, and nobody has ever needed to learn another. Its name is the Razoenra Spraecha, the reasoned speech, and in ordinary use simply the Spraecha. Every person born here speaks it from the cradle, and every person who arrives speaks it within days, which nobody in the world can explain.

This wiki calls it the Common Reason Tongue (CLT) — a name no speaker uses; see Meta:Conventions for why.

The tongue

• Common Reason Tongue — the Spraecha as it is spoken: sound, how it changed, grammar, pronouns, address, the two registers, and how new words are made
• Brain Rot Tongue — where it came from, which nobody living knows

The three stages

• Proto CLT — the Eldspraecha, the elder speech of the survivors and the first generations
• Middle CLT — the Pactspraecha, the language of the Pact era
• Modern CLT — the Spraecha of 917
