Language of the Old Elite

The language is seen as prestigious as it has a rich history and its connection to the empire and the emperors of old makes it somewhat of a legendary language throughout Dysvoll.
Many great literary works were written in Old Lentish and some study it to get the full experience of these classics. These stories and writings have been translated to many languages, but the true fanatics want the most immersive experience they can get.

The language doesn't always sound as intellectual as most linguistics agree it is.
However, one could say the language itself isn't the intellectual thing they say it is, but rather, that the literary works and their writers are.
The greatness of these poets and master word crafters would shine through in any language!
