Standard Fae
Standard Fae is a combination of many ancient Fae and Sylvan languages, and is established as the official language of the Faerie Empire. Despite its official status, Standard Fae is not as common conversationally as it once was. A relatively new language, Modern Fae, has become much more common in Faerie. Modern Fae is a creole language composed of Standard Fae and several mortal languages, theoretically to avoid enforcing any dominant cultural group.
