The
Languages of the Great Continent:
The structure of the Juralic languages, which were the ones related to Atlantean and spoken within the Empire, was that Juralic was the original "mother language", from which sprang over many hundreds of years the four descendant languages: Atlantean, Chalcran, Helvran and Yalland. This is similar to the position in our world of Latin, and its descendants: French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, etc. I have reproduced enough of these texts to give the reader a general understanding of how everything fitted together, and an explanation of the grammar of some of the languages, especially Juralic and Atlantean. I have also set down some of the vocabulary. The vocabulary links below give word-lists of Juralic, Atlantean, Chalcran, Helvran and Yalland, in English alphabetical order, from "a" onwards: words beginning with letters further down the alphabet can be reached from links at the bottom of each page. Firstly, there are the general outlines of the languages and linguistic history: This is a basic description
