[quote=AlidaMaria] Sparks, I have a little question/suggestion: Would it be an idea if the merchants (at least those on one side of the continent) have formed a sort of "common language"? It'd be a practical, easy to learn language, which is however not too widespread. It's just for the sake of making it easier to trade/communicate with one another, though besides merchants there wouldn't be many who speak it. It'd be a lot like . Since it won't really be used on diplomatic mission, "translator" is sitll a profession and of course it never hurts to learn the language of your trading partners ^_^'. I'm not all too sure if this will be all that useful in the rp itself, it's more a thing I thought of for the sake of realism.
