Kowy (າດຸຂຖຍໂາະຍສຳຂຖ) is a common language spoken in the Avadian Peninsula. Originating from migrating tribes, it was formed out of major changes from original Astariax and Olivichian languages as tribes migrated east, and settled in the modern day [[Trident Union]]. Named after the tribes that migrated, the language is characterized by the use of a variety of consenants, many consecutive causing the language to be quite difficult to be spoken. The written language is also difficult to read, write, and use, due to the fact it uses a large amount of letters for words (an average of twelve letters for common words), the written language is rarely used. However, it can be found on some signs in the Ardo Lushland of the Trident Union, and other areas in Joomin.

Kowy (າດຸຂຖຍໂາະຍສຳຂຖ) is a common language spoken in the Avadian Peninsula. Originating from migrating tribes, it was formed out of major changes from original Astariax and Olivichian languages as tribes migrated east, and settled in the modern day Trident Union. Named after the tribes that migrated, the language is characterized by the use of a variety of consenants, many consecutive causing the language to be quite difficult to be spoken. The written language is also difficult to read, write, and use, due to the fact it uses a large amount of letters for words (an average of twelve letters for common words), the written language is rarely used. However, it can be found on some signs in the Ardo Lushland of the Trident Union, and other areas in Joomin. The Common transliteration is far more common, and is regulary spoken, written, and used across the Union.
