Vierz
Vierz is a Boric language, from the South Boric branch of the subfamily. It is the official and most common language of Vierzland, Vonzumier, and numerous other South Artalian countries, while serving as an inter-ethnic language in parts of Tusola and having a further presence as a second language in west Oridia. The global prevalence of the language, and its official status within two of the world's great powers, has made it the world's unofficial lingua franca. Accounting for non-native speakers, it is the world's most spoken language, and the most widely-taught language in non-Vierz-speaking countries.
Vierz originated in eastern Vierzland, where it served as the official language of the Vierz League before being adopted by the unified Vierz Empire as the national language. Vierzland's colonization of the New World resulted in the displacement of the native population, and the establishment of Vierz as the primary language in Vierzland's colonial holdings there. The breakaway colony of Vonzumier eventually ascended into great power status, granting further prestige to the Vierz language. Elsewhere, Vierz was forced upon the local populace. In linguistically diverse Tusola, the language was adopted in earnest by the locals to bridge ethnolinguistic divisions; whereas in west Oridia, where Caraqi was already prevalent as the singular unifying language, Vierz was only used by the colonial administration.
Hauvic is variously regarded as a dialect or register of the Vierz language, or as a separate language entirely. It features notable differences from Standard Vierz and limited mutual intelligibility, while also being notably closer to Borish than Standard Vierz. The language was historically used by the Vierz Kingdom prior to the incorporation of the Vierz League and the adoption of eastern Vierz as the national language.
Janic-Molvic languages
Luepolan
Luepolan is a Janic-Molvic language, from the South Molvic branch of the subfamily. It is the official language of Luepola, and continues to be spoken by large proportions of the Luepolan diaspora outside of the country. Luepolan is the most spoken Janic-Molvic language and the second most spoken native language in Patyria.
Luepolan first emerged as a distinct language in the 9th century, when it definitively diverged from the rest of the South Molvic languages. It served as the official language of both Varadna and Strentland, serving as one of the common ties between the kingdoms that would eventually unite them into Luepola. The Luepolan language was spread alongside Luepola's borders as more land was claimed- displacing other languages and threatening the extinction of the Aneskan language. This has resulted in Luepolan having a significantly larger geographic spread than many other Molvic languages.
Luepolan was written in the Janic script until the early 1900s, when reforms ushered by the Communist Party of Luepolan phased out Cyrillic in favor of Valetic.

Taraji-Mahadic languages
Ahji-Tarati
Ahji and Tarati are two registers of the same language. The language is used in the world's most populous country, Bhasar; with over 800 million native speakers, it is the world's most spoken first language. The Tarati register alone is the most spoken language on the continent of Oridia. The Tarati register is the official language of Bhasar, but Ahji is co-official with Tarati at the provincial level in most provinces of Bhasar.
The language traces its roots to ancient Sanskrit, which has been attested in modern-day Bhasar for as long as 4,000 years. Sanskrit remains prominent in Bhasari religious texts, though the officially state atheist government of Bhasar has rejected the continued use of it.
