==Language== ===Spoken Language=== The dominant spoken language in the world is English, which can be understood by all people that the story introduced so far (with the exception of Earthers who don't speak English). There are however other languages<ref name="1.00 R">[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/10/06/interlude-1-00-r/ Interlude β 1.00 R]</ref> such as the ones used by the [[Drathians]].<ref name="6.20 D">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/05/28/6-20-d/ Chapter 6.20 D]</ref> [[Roshal]] has a language called true Roshalian, but it's only used to command slaves or as a mark of prestige.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/06/27/9-49/ Chapter 9.49]</ref> Goblins also claim their own language, which includes a significant incorporation of body language, and is especially notable for its large lexicon of words for different kinds of death. Other primitive people considered monsters such as [[Ogres]], [[Gargoyles]], and [[Dorhmin]] also have their own languages. Ogres are notable for using their own language to cast magic.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/09/02/7-43-g/ Chapter 7.43 G]</ref> ===Written Language=== Unlike in Celum in which the citizens not only speak English but also use the same writing system, which possibly goes for most other human cities,<ref name="1.00 R" /> in Liscor the people only ''speak'' in English while another completely different written language has been implemented.<ref name="1.13">[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/09/11/1-13/ Chapter 1.13]</ref> It seems that older written texts need translation, which involves for examples books older than some thousand years; and glyphs found in ancient crypts. This translation is usually done through magic.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/02/19/1-02-h/ Chapter 1.02 H]</ref><ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/12/05/3-35/ Chapter 3.35]</ref> Latin also exists as a written language, and is called the language of magic.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/10/16/interlude-death-and-stitches/ Interlude - Death and Stitches]</ref> There are no reports of any basic education system in the whole world. Yet, most people in the story seem to be able to read without issues (for example, even eremitic [Farmers] are used to exchange messages; guild jobs are posted on announcement boards; etc.). The only known persons who professed not being able to read at some point, were [[Garia Strongheart]] and [[Durene]].
