The Sanori language, originally known as Sahalrian, is a very ancient and mysterious language. Many wise men tell stories of glorious dragons long ago, who ruled these parts as their home. They were the first speakers of the garden's tongue. But it is said that soon humans and elve's began moving into the area, driving the dragons out one by one. Soon, only a few brave creature remained in this place. They, along with the elves, maintained the old language.
There is also another, even older language here at Sanori. It remians nameless, but it is very mysterious. Only certain smaller dragons remembered the tongue, as it was locked in their minds long ago so it wouldn't be forgotten. Now that the gardens have been restored, so has the language. And with it, it's secrets. Thought to be a naming language, it's words are short and said crisply, as not to confuse words. It's also though that the words all have a different spell attached to them, and, if said right, that spell could be released.
Both languages were formed thousands of years ago. Long before the Gardens were even that, and the whole area was a massive, ancient forest. Dragons ruled the lands, along with a few brave elves and mages. It's unknown exactly when the dragons moved into this place, but it's known that once migrated here, the Sanori language began to form around thelong line of dragon leaders, who were particularly soft spoken. Following their lead, without much thinking, the other dragons began adapting their way of speaking. After only a few hundred years, it had become a completely different language which is still used today.
The distinct text of the languages were also influenced by the dragons. As most dragons then didn't have pens or pencils or similar things, they used their claws with a simple ink to scribble out the beautiful script. Some, trying to impress others, even used the end of their tails. Both the languages use the same alphabet, with just a few minor adjustments, which leads historians to think that the mages and elves living with the dragons added the fancy script to the much older language for their own use.
There isn't much told about the two languages yet, but as soon as new information is discovered, I will be sure to post it here.
