Revision as of 20:54, 29 November 2009
Template:Greyhawk Language Old Oeridian is the language of the Oeridian people. It was completely free of outside influences until the Great Migrations. Its grammar is thus unique and it is almost impossible to translate it into any language other than Common. Many of the books, records, and holy texts of the Aerdi were written in Old Oeridian, and it is still widely known in the lands of the former Great Kingdom.
