Däegic

Däegic is an Onor-based creole language that developed on the continent of Däegarden over a period of several centuries following the end of the 40-Year War. It is influenced by a variety of different languages, but mostly by the Onor variety Nodalonor, Gogeg, Iloisa, Ynoforan, and Ydelhiad.

When Däegarden was first settled by the Nodal Dwarves in about 1300 AT, they brought the Onor language with them. Nodal was located in the central areas of the continent, and traders from its neighboring nations often had to go through it to reach other countries. These traders often had to learn Nodalonor to communicate with the residents of the country and brought the language back home. Over time, Nodalonor blended with the languages of the other countries of Däegarden, and these varieties blended with each other to form Däegic by 2000 AT.

Däegic is spoken by almost all of Däegarden, along with the continent's historical languages, and is also popular overseas on the Frozen Continent and some regions of Ditarre. Despite its wide spread, Däegic is not typically a first language. It has earned official status in every nation on Däegarden and the Däe peninsula region of the A'Roastad Empire, yet it is primarily taught as a second language. Däegic has become a symbol of the people of Däegarden, as well as the blending of cultures in the modern era. Multiple varieties of Däegic are common, including Rodic Däegic, Honsin Däegic, and A'Roastad Däegic, leading to the creation of a Standard Däegic.

Däegic has become a symbol of the people of the Garden Continent, as well as the fortitude of its people and cultures.
