Theodic
Theodic, also simply called Imperial Tongue, is the language spoken by the citizens of the Empire. It is the most widely-used tongue in The Empire of Man. The speech of Imperials is the standard by which other speakers of the language are judged.
As the professors of the Empire's universities will happily explain to anyone with a few hours to spare, the Empire, or at least so its inhabitants claim, was the first nation of Men in the mortal world to develop a written language, and the realm has a wealth of literature in the libraries of its towns and cities. Unfortunately, the proportion of the population that can actually read and write is quite small.
Modern Theodic is a direct descendant of the tongue once spoken by the God-King Sieghardt- God Emperor when he still walked as a mortal over fourteen thousand years ago. It manifests in uncounted discrete dialects from across the Empire, most of which are mutually intelligible to any Imperial from any of the Imperial Provinces.
