==Common (Gnomish)==

This is the language of the gnomes, who are most populous across the whole of Axalvo, as well as humans and some others. It forms an effective ''lingua franca'' for the area. It wasn't always so; Old Imperial used to be more widespread. Common is written using a short curvilinear alphabet; it used to be written boustrophedonically (ie back-and-forth) but is now written left-to-right and punctuated.

This language is pronounced with main stress on the penultimate syllable. The Gs are all hard, and double vowels are generally diphthongs - 'ai' as the vowel in the English word ''high'', and 'ua' as the vowel in the French word ''roi''. All vowels are pronounced; ''e'' is the vowel in the English ''dress'' if unstressed, and the one in the English ''face'' if stressed.
