Foridian

There are two main languages spoken within Foridia, Common Foridian and High Foridian. The most important is the high tongue, a dialect that is spoken only among the nobility. Almost exclusively spoken within the ducal courts, it has a highly complex and rigidly formalized grammar, which was originally intended to create a language barrier between the upper and lower classes of Foridian society. Someone not raised to the tongue thus stands out immediately, preventing pretenders to nobility from easily entering a noble court.
