While it's quite obvious that Oniga is quite similiar (read : blatant rip off. *hides*) to our Japan, I've also heard Chaturanga being compared to Central Europe.

Is such applicable? What of the other nations? I am asking mostly for the reason to get a fair idea how their languages sound etc.

I might make a page for this on the wiki sometime; but PD asked this and it was answered on the old forums a while ago. It's also in the Lore Archives that Sly posted.

Q: Are there other languages in other countries / continents on the planet, or do they all speak one universal language? And if so to the latter, how long has this been going on for?

A: Yes, but most default to the common language, because Sigrogana is the largest human civilization. Real world mirrors would be along the lines of; Oniga has its Japanese, Chaturanga/Kysei in general has a bunch of European languages (from before they were unified), Alstalsia has German. Kaelensia have a rather unrefined language that they use on Egwyn sometimes. Note that all of these aren't actually called Japanese/European in the setting, and it's not an invitation for you to anime up your roleplay by throwing honorifics and Japanese phrases mid-way through your English ones. (True Onigans would find that very unsightly...)

Q: If Alstalsia has German, would it also have Italian because pasta/pizza originates from Alstalsia?

A: Certainly would.


But I'd like to ask myself on top of this. I can tell Gaelic would most likely be a mirror to Chaturangan but I'm curious about if Russian might be a mirror to Kysei's language or a third Alstalsian dialect.
