dah'Rini
The language of the dah'Rini originated as far back as can be confirmed in the Deserts of Axios around the 1570s by the dah'Rini people and tribe. It owes little to no similarity to Common, besides the occasional borrowing of grammar for where it may be lacking.
The fluidity of grammar rules in dah'Rini means that for each person the language overall can be slight to majorly different depending on how they interpret it, with it heavily relying on context. And a lack of context can cause it to lose meaning. This stress on context could be why some writings in their script cannot be appropriately understood if the person reading it is inexperienced.
