Geographical Distribution
The major language of Kushar is Kushari, although it has many local dialects:
Bastard-Kushari / Zhyalayi is spoken by commoners and traders in the capital of Kushar. This creole language is influenced from coming into contact with different languages from all over the world. As a result it is a constantly evolving and ever changing dialect, and one that changes from person to person.
High Kushari is the dialect of the nobility and the high ranking clergy. It tends to be far more difficult to follow and far more pretentious. Its use is the sign that someone is wealthy, and likely a good target to try steal from.
Old Kushari is the older dialect of the language, one that represents pre-conquest influences. This language is also where many old place names and local Magi names emerged from. While there are many similarities with the other dialects, there are some distinct and arcane old names and terms. Tends to be the language written on old ruins and spoken by those in isolated old areas.
Seerasi-Kushari is the dialect spoken by those deeper in the Seeras desert. It is influenced by interactions (both friendly and otherwise) with the nomadic herders, traders and warbands of the desert, often taking on a far shorter and more precise nature.
