Bathaal is a dead language originally spoken in the Northern Meridiq Highlands. It is famed for being the language that Beo's teachings were first written in.

The language itself is alphabetic in nature with a fairly simple grammar structure having only Present, Past, and Future Tense. The language does not account for plural words and thus it must be guessed by context if someone is describing a plural or a singular object. This confusion is at the root of Hephsat Beoin, as they believe through close reading and inconsistency in the spelling of Beo's name that there were in fact two siblings Beo and Theo.

The language is thought to have died out in the early 11th Century being replaced by other languages in the region. Scholarly interest in the language began in the 1500s when Beoin manuscripts were copied and sold to Liran Merchants.
