Spoken in the south of the Steel Realms and the [empire] of Nakria, its roots are the human peoples of The Nakreha, and now Nakria.
The Nakrian tongue is an old, well developed and complex language. The Nakrians are a very expressive people, and take as much pride as the Umbakians in the communication skills. There are a lot of subtle nuances in their verbal language, while their written language is much more for communicating information, rather than emotion. Their poetry, when read by a non-native speaker, sounds flat and emotionless – knowing where to put the inflections and accents is critical – and these are nearly never recorded in the written script. A few words and sounds from Celestine language roots can be found within its spoken form, leading to much speculation.
