How about this: the common tongue as mentioned is.. more or less, the common tongue (haha.)

Then you have upper class speech, which is probably Dawnish. Even Vasili noblemen speak this language because, well, it's prestigious and it reflects well on your status. See it as the Latin or French of Europe. Why Dawnish? Because they seem more noble-like, where as the Vasili mingle with nordic tribes.

Would that make sense? Just an idea that I came up with because, in England they spoke French as well because it was seen as a better, more noble language. It makes sense for us to have a similar situation.

It's certainly a good idea, but I think it would be easier to say that the majority of people in Vasili speak more or less the same language. Also Vasili certainly doesn't see any aspects of Dawn (save for technology) as better, and is one of the reasons why they are invading them; because of this it would be strange for the upper class to think of the Dawnish language as better. However it would certainly make sense for Dawnish people to think that Vasili were more lower-class because, as you pointed out, they mingle with tribes.

Besides that, you have tribal speech, which is subdivided into.. over a hundred different dialects as each tribe speaks it's own dialect, and has certain words that the other tribes only know if they've met this tribe in a friendly manner. 

Further south you have many more languages, mainly used in trading, where they speak a mangled version of the common tongue, mixed with some of their native language. Of course, this goes paired with lots of hand gestures which, over the years have also formed 'words' so you can use your hands to say words. For instance, if I wave at you and then pinch my nose, that means 'I want to buy sugar from you' for example. That's a dumb example, but it gets my point across.

Divided tribal speech certainly makes sense too, but there's probably not quite as many as a hundred. In the charted lands I can't see there being more than a dozen different tribal tongues, just because there's not many tribes as there once was. 

I like the idea about the south languages too so we'll roll with it, but I'd still like to say that the far south speak lingua. Until we start expanding the wider world we don't really need to worry too much about languages as it can start to complicate things.

The currency in many Kingdoms is gold (and silver and bronze), with the state imposing their own seals upon their countries currency. For example in Vasili you will find gold peices with the House of Vasili crest. 

10 bronze coins = 1 silver coin. 
10 silver coins = 1 gold coin. 

A loaf of fresh bread will probably cost you about 5/6 bronze coins. A poor quality sword will cost around 15-20 gold pieces. A decent sword can cost in excess of 50 gold pieces. A full set of plate armour will cost you over 200 gold pieces. As a rough guide. Most people are willing to trade in items and favours as much as they are gold.
