Aerlan Commonspeak (Commonspeak: Ayrlan 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 an additional letter, that being the letter Eth (Ð,ð). This additional letter is used as a substitute for the digraph Th. It is generally accepted the Eth was first introduced to Aerla by Norse traders, and eventually found its way into regular use within the language.
