The Rauric languages were a family of languages with an origin in the Old Empires and Zakhara.[1]
Language Groups[]
Scholars divided the family into two major branches, the Mulani and Untheric languages.[1] Some also placed the Chessentic languages in this group, since those languages were also spoken in the Old Empires,[2] but they were not truly related,[3] although Untheric did strongly influence Chessentan.[4]
History[]
The Imaskari languages strongly influenced the Rauric languages of Mulhorandi and Untheric,[2] through the Ancient Imask languages Rauran and Reian, which were spoken in the region before the coming of the Mulan.[1] Slave argots of these tongues contributed in part to the development of both Mulhorandi and Untheric.[4]

Inspiration[]
The grouping up the Rauric languages was inspired by the real-life Hamitic and Semitic languages.[1]
