====== Orisec ======
The language family of [[..:factions:zulithan|Zulithan]], all of which are descended in some way from [[..:..:2nd_age:languages:orisec|Old Orisec]].

===== Lower Orisec =====
The standard language of [[..:factions:zulithan|Zulithan]], Lower Orisec descends directly from [[..:..:2nd_age:languages:orisec|Old Orisec]].
It is commonly spoken by those in the Rahiel delta, urban areas, and in [[..:religions:yahnvaism|Yahnvaistic]] rites.
Outward facing, Lower Orisec seeks accommodation with foreign tongues in hopes of regaining the prestige of Old Orisec.
Given geographic realities and the popularity of [[Pheocian]] this has yet to come to pass.

===== Upper Orisec =====
An inheritor of [[..:..:2nd_age:languages:orisec|Old Orisec]], developed by the [[..:factions:zulithan|Zulithan]] of the upper Rahiel river valley most zealously following their prophet, [[polemos:4th_age:characters:zulit|Zulit]].
The dialect curiously has no formal words to describe magic, and instead re-uses words for vices or impurities when necessary.
Commonly used by [[..:religions:zulit|Zulit]] practitioners and the "umbral" tribes that brave the interior of the Midnight Desert.
