| - | |||
| - | ====Nira’las==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The primary language of the Norian people. It evolved from the spoken components of High Norian and became the official language in 2348 NSD. The written word appears and sounds much like the Elven tongues found on other worlds and has a runic alphabet which can be also be shown with traditional common letters. | ||

| - | ====Aotithaun==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Aotithaun is recently accepted language that was introduced to the culture with the return of the Xythael Traditionalists. Like Nira’las it developed from a simplification of the older High Norian tongue for use with other races. Spite the official declaration that all government documents will be written in Aotithaun as well as Nira’las it is the view of many Norians that the language is oversimplified, | ||

| - | ====High Norian==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Often referred to as the ‘forgotten tongue’ it is a three layered highly complex language which was recorded to be the first language of Noria for over six millennia. The language consists of three elements, a spoken element, a mentally transferred glyph and image element, and an auricle disruption which all occur simultaneously. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The language, although still considered to be the language of scholars, priests and the elite has been abandoned in favor of the simpler tongues. The language lacks the ability to cross racial barriers as that no one element can be translated without the other, so it holds little use off the Home world, except perhaps to codify conversations between higher ranking officers. | ||
| - | |||
| - | There is a written way of conveying this language, however it is extremely complex having over eight thousand characters and requires clarification of what auricle elements are being included. | ||
