Lore:Tamrielic

This article is about the modern language. For the historical Cyrodilic language, see Old Cyrodilic.

Tamrielic, colloquially referred to as Cyrodilic, is the common tongue of the Empire and the language used most extensively throughout modern Tamriel. Tamrielic is descended from Old Cyrodilic and is based on the speech and writing of High Elvish and Ayleidoon.

Notes

• Ashlanders refer to the common tongue as Old Elf.
• Tibedetha gets its name from the middle Tamrielic word for "Tibers Day". This indicates the transition from middle Tamrielic to Tamrielic occurred sometime after the rise of Tiber Septim.
• Pig-Cyrodilic is a variant of Tamrielic sometimes spoken by non speakers.
• Tamrielic (including middle Tamrielic) is the language shown to the audience as English (or whatever language the game is played in) in The Elder Scrolls media.
