The Oranish languages are a language family native to most of Oranland, the Limu mountain range, and Alabon. Some Oranish languages of this family, Neragese, Cavalan, Palon, Hestandan, Veragese, and Seron, have expanded through colonialism in the modern period and are now spoken across several continents. The Oranish family is divided into several branches or sub-families, of which there are X groups with languages still alive today: Veragian, Alaric, Séanctish, East Renhullic, West Renhullic, Limuan, and X; and another X subdivisions such as Herithian that are now extinct.
In total, about 38% of the world's population (5.32 billion people) speaks an Oranish language as a first language. By far the highest in Gentu. At present, there are X living Oranish languages with about a half of them belonging to the Alaric languages.
All Oranish languages are descended from a single prehistoric language, linguistically reconstructed as Proto-Oranish, spoken sometime in the Novalithic to Early Bronze Age. The geographical location of where it originates from is unknown since by the time the first written records appeared, Oranish had already evolved into numerous languages spoken across much of Oranland.
The Oranish family is closely related to the Orano-Hangic languages.
