Main languages include Asdoh, Hureed and the Eastern Torv. Asdoh is a dead language and is named after the [[state of Asdoh]] where the language was spoken, but it is the parent Bukk language, with Hureed and Eastern Torv evolving from it. Asdoh's influence on Bukk is enormous and is reflected in many words that are used to this day but clearly don't obey the spelling and pronunciation rules of a local dialect. In a way, Asdoh is the most consistent part of Bukkean languages.

Asdoh's influence on Bukk is fundamental and is reflected in many words that are used to this day but clearly don't obey the spelling and pronunciation rules of a local dialect. In a way, Asdoh is the most consistent part of the Bukkean languages.
Bukkean languages are known for their fluid pronunciation rules which make it hard to navigate the various dialects, versions and offshoots. Written Bukk is more consistent and can usually be understood by people who might have difficulty understanding each other's dialects.

Bukk's main progenitor was Asdoh, a language of the third wave of the [[Dawn]]. Asdoh's origins are unclear, as the language does not seem to share much relation to languages of Gantolia, Yammoe or any of the second wave populations in Loodori and Ybuwyn.
Eastern Tarnaria began to come in contact with the [[Utuka]], resulting in the [[Oaleed]] borrowing the writing system, vocabulary and pronunciation quirks from Utuka's Mae Hureed. The Dolysoh dynasty, which was in conflict with the Oaleed, nevertheless adopted their writing system. According to the legend, [[Modosoh Dolysoh]] liked how his name looked when written in Hureed. This accelerated the adoption of written Hureed in the north, although even during Gened's time both spoken and written Asdoh was still the main language of [[Toor]]. The dissolution of Toor led to a steady migration to [[Commonground]] from [[Mantar]], which slowly infused Hureed into the northern lands of Tarnaria.

The definitive wide adoption of spoken Hureed was due to [[Stogen]], which eliminated both Asdoh the state and Asdoh the language.
