Thinking once again about how all the scions have to know at LEAST like. 4 languages. And thats assuming a HUGE lack of linguistic diversity.
#ffxiv#its so funny...the echo writes language out of the equation for us but not our pals#like being generous and assuming a) all of aldenard speaks either one language#or are closely related enough to be mutually intelligible#and then the same with all the othardian languages#or that most garlean colonies had garlean language enforced + its become something of a lingua franca#so any hingans we meet would know it#and MAYBE there was enough influence from the exarch on the first to influence the language there towards mutual intelligibility#BUT I DOUBT IT#to be clear theyre the nerd squad I don't doubt it#its just funny that obviously the writers wrote it out for the main characters and then just. decided not to ever consider it again#i guess if we really wanna go there#we could say that since allag had such a wide reach all modern language are in part descended from allagan#but that was like. 3000 years ago. thats a lot of time for linguistic deift#once more. im not calling it unrealistic.
