I got a question. What is “English” called in Thedas? Like, what we hear as English in the game. Is it called English? That wouldn’t make any sense. Orlesian isn’t called French and Tevene isn’t Latin
Common tongue or King’s Tongue, I believe.
Correct. At least one example is in The Stolen Throne. It turns out Dwarves taught humans the King’s Tongue, implying it comes from the kings of Orzammar and not Ferelden.
OH COOL I DID NOT KNOW THAT
King’s Basic is the Ferelden term and Trade (another term for it) originated I believe in Ferelden or rather under it, every other nation refers to it as Common or Trade Tongue. Trade Tongue is in fact a Dwarven Language, because the Dwarves need a Trade Language for the surface, thus Common/Trade Tongue was created.
