Languages

History
There are many languages and even more dialects in the galaxy. The first known language is ancient Caeli which was possibly created by the Lucerians. This language is the ancestor to many later Caeli languages, such as Lucian, Lictan, Aersk, high Hydoctan, low Hydoctan and unified Ignic standard.

Over time as the Lucerians became the dominant race in Caeli the Lucian language became standard. This saw many of the other languages bastardise to use loanwords from Lucian. Lucian arguably became the most influential language of it's time with many modern languages tracing their roots to it.

After the great shattering once again many civilisations got isolated. This lead to the rise of countless new languages. After the dominance of the Lucerians was lost to many of these civilisations they started using their own languages again or weird hybrid versions.

Common languages
After the re-connection of civilisations in the space age the need for a common language arose. Many closely related languages were united into new standardised versions.

This resulted into (new) Lictan in Thrylos and in the FDGR as being the main official language. The Cendi have the most isolated language known as Igan, meanwhile the Fodi and Parsi both have languages that are heavily influenced by the dominant new Lictan. These are Oar and unified Hydoctan respectively.

The major Istarian factions all have their own variants of a language known as Vitum. A language that has it's roots in old Vitum as spoken by the Xinta, which in their turn got it from ancient Lictan.

As of 6024 ATS a new common language was established to serve the alliance fighting the Xinta. This was to streamline military operations and prevent possible translation errors. This language is now known as Uniac. This language is an official language in Thrylos, the FDGR, the Fodi Confederacy, the Parsi Federal Union and the GFS.

Notable exceptions are the Cendi Faxi and the Akai and Xinji empires. In the Akai empire an Akai specific version of Vitum is the only recognised language.
