Aryezi is the main language of Aryez, spoken by most of the country's inhabitants. It is the sole surviving Aryezic Language, spoken in four main dialects: Aryeji in northern and central Aryez, Aryesi is southern Aryez, Aryezizdari on the continent-island of Aryezizdar, and Arzori in Arzor; Arzori is often considered a seperate language for political purposes. All four dialects are variants of Modern Aryezi, and language descended from Classical Aryezi or Aryeza. Modern Standard Aryezi is based on the Aryeji grammar and Aryesi vocabulary (both of which are closest to Aryeza in their respective cases). Aryezi is the sole official language of Aryez and Aryezizdar and an official language in the Arnori states (Arnor), Arzor, and has significant status in parts of Arzdar, Loninya, Mandoria, and Chu.
The Aryezi language contains a rich body of literature and is known as a language of art, science, cultural, religion, and poetry. It was originally written in one of the Arnori scripts (Afrit or Arthad) before switching to the native Neyatetar.
History
The origins of Aryezi are unknown as Aryezi has no surviving relatives anywhere else in the world. It is probable that the ancestors of the Aryezi People were somewhere from Arnor or a neighboring region. These proto-Aryezi were displaced and dissapeared from history when the more advanced ancestors of the Arnori moved in as they fled the expansion of the empire of Arzdar. It is likely that the early Aryezi were these displaced people who island hopped to the islands that would later become Aryez. Upon reaching the central islands, they spread north and south taking their language with them. Soon, kingdoms and cheifdoms began forming. At this stage, the language was known was Old Aryezi. Old Aryezi came in contact with the more advanced civilization of Arnor and Arzdar, from which it borrowed writing (from Arnor), and large amounts of vocabulary and culture (mostly from Arzdar).
