Standard

Standard is the standard language of the verse. It is almost indistinguishable from Common, which is believed to date into Antiquity, despite not being the language of the Ancients.

There are many derivations of Standard throughout the known worlds, but most are easy enough. There are also numerous other languages, but Standard is the most common written and spoken language.

In the Course Books are numerous contradictions of which is the older and which the newer, though the glossary states unequivocally that Standard is the modern tongue and Common is the older. The wiki disagrees, and most stories written correctly state that Common is the modern language.
