Old Tongue

"Dalederii Noth silyin" --Old Tongue motto of Alyan.
== General Overview ==
Old Tongue is a root language spoken in the early periods of the Waking Era. Now Old Tongue is a dead language, but many common words are composed of prefixes and suffixes pulled from Old Tongue.
== Language Basics ==
Old tongue works by stringing together multiple concepts to communicate an idea. The context of each of the suffixes change drastically depending on the other ideas they are connected with and the context of the sentence. Many different regions across the world developed different dialects and versions of Old Tongue that eventually grew into the many different languages of the world.
For example the concepts "en" denoting death, and "rii" denoting sentience often associated with souls, when combined often refer to killing something. However, "en" when combined with "ia" which denotes life, when combined refers to rebirth.

== Counting in Old Tongue ==
Sus and Ver are the two concepts attributed to counting. Sus refers to a leader's concern for decisions, and Ver refers to the concepts of balance. In old tongue odd numbers begin with the concept of Sus because when dividing, a leader would have to decide who the uneven remains were distributed to. Even numbers end with the concept of Ver, because often even numbers could be distributed fairly.
