Imperial Standard

Imperial Standard is the official language of the Virasana Empire. 
== History ==
* During the Shangri-La and the Lost Years, countless languages developed.
* Strong concentration during the emergence of the Noble Houses
* No common language during the Age of the Lotus. Nevertheless, growing communication density and cultural exchange between planets sped up a certain alignment. Attempts at creating a common baseline language usually died out after a few years.
* Complete chaos during the Age of Many Emperors
* Under the patronage of Empress Amadeus Grebenstein, Imperial Standard is developed as an artificial mix of the most common languages of the empire and set as official language for all imperial documents, declarations. 
* Empress Tamina Quetzal initiated the obligatory use of Standard in all subsidized entertainment media. 
* Slow but consistent increase of use in the years since
* Today, almost all people in the empire at least understand Standard, and the overwhelming majority speaks it fluently. Only in the most remote rural regions it might be difficult to get along without another language.
