Aerlan Commonspeak (Commonspeak: Ayrlen Commenspec) is a creole language that is spoken among those in the more rural parts of Aerla, as well as much of the lower classes.

The language borrows loanwords from many surrounding languages, such as Norse, Hatayan and Ranentsi.

Alphabet

Aerlan Commonspeak shares the standard 26 letter alphabet of Common Tongue, but contains several addition letters that are used in place of certain digraphs. It is believed that speakers that these digraphs evolved in written Commonspeak due to long clusters of digraphs in some words. These additional letters are listed below:

Name Character Digraph Example
Abo Ä,ä aa Äplen (Apple)
Ebo Ë,ë ee Oëg (Egg)
Obo Ö,ö oo Grönd (Big, Grand, Great)
Eth Ð,ð th Ðe (The)
Ash Æ,æ ae Æto (Car, Vehicle)
Esset ẞ,ß ss Majlëß (Council, Group)

It is generally accepted that many of these letters were first introduced to Aerla by Norse traders, while the origins of Esset are traced to Anterreich, whose noble families established several colony settlements in the south of modern Aerla.
