=== Old Silvan ===
Old Silvan is an ancient language that is spoken fluently today by only two high Silvan officials. Old Silvan despite its name was formed in Pre-Silvan times before the tribal era. Navlis is a form of Old Silvan still used today, it was Old Silvan modified and altered to be able to fit in with arcane spell casting easier. Old Silvan is made up of 86 consonants and 28 vowels that would string together in the same way as Fangi English. Old Silvan comprised of a numbering system going from 1 to 10 then having additional words for Hundred and Thousand. The language oftenly used the same words in different contexts to describe different things. The language was mostly masculine words with the equivilant of "his" or "it" used more oftenly. The language took too long to put together a sentence due to the complication of pronouns, plurality, and complete utter lack of verbs.
=== Navlis ===
Navlis was more of a sub section of Old Silvan as it was used for arcane spell casting. After the arcanes were discovered scholars and researchers found it hard to document and record the enchantments to script form and ended up making a form of Old Silvan that reversed itself to allow more variety in words but this ended up with the language being harder to learn that the already very hard to learn Old Silvan. The language had 28 consonants and 86 vowels that would change the word with the slightest mutter of the wrong letter. The language being too hard to learn was part of the reason that the Silvan Federation at the time lacked Arcane magicians. This would later get replaced for Fangi English.
=== Fangi English ===
Fangi English is just what the Silvan people would start using which would be a dialect of normal English used most places through out Alathra. It was seen as simpler and easier to learn therefore over the span of 400 years it replaced Navlis and Old Silvan.
