It could be argued that Doman-common, or the "common Doman tongue," is, in fact, Japanese. That the Xaelan tongue is different. We do see Japanese naming systems in both spells, items, and even their actual names. So it's less, "They can't speak this language," and more, "They're speaking Doman, not Raen." The actual lore quote is: Show Content lorebook Dissecting this, the argument (for the point of providing debate fuel) can be: Domans have a hyur majority so. Have adopted the common tongue of the Hyur: "Common," can simply mean "local to." This leads open interpretation to what that, "Common," Hyuran tongue is. And, on a similar point, "Common," is never specified as, "English," and changes in your region. To those who may RP in EU around French, "Common," on Eorzea would be French. So on and so forth. This continues into, Their spoken language differs some from that spoken in Eorzea, which leads many to perceive it as a slightly odd dialect: This is already acknowledging that -- at least in some ways -- the language is different. That means whereas they may not speak full Japanese, that they may speak "broken" Japanese. As in, this was a language that was whole once, but throughout the generation has wilted out and died. "Dead languages," could be supported by the fact that we -- to this day -- have pockets of people who speak dead languages.  Some food for thought! ./bouncesout The Midnight Pearl || Doma Lore & Inspiration Blog
