Bendilian
"Of course I speak Bendilian! Everyone knows Impspeak. If you dont you're a daft fool."
Bedilian, (also known as Imperial Common or Impspeak) was the Native Language of the City/State Bendil. When Val the First turned Bendil int a proper kingdom the language began spreading. As it became an Empire and s the reach and control of Bendil increased so did Bendilian. Shontella the Implacable made it Imperial Law that all official communication was to be in Bedilian. This was done to drive home Imperial Control over conquered territories and to ensure all communication was done in the same manner so no confusion could be ascribed to bad translation
