I am clarifying since people like to run around using Google translator and attempting to speak Japanese or throwing out random anime terms. Saying you speak Doman is not saying you read Doman. It is easier to just nip it in the bud then have people continue to spam kawaii desu all over the place.

Yes, most Raen Au Ra (simplified by the fanbase to imply Domans, since Raen naming conventions = Doman naming conventions) are stated in the lore book to speak the common tongue of the Hyur (colloquially/fanonically known as "Eorzean" - if it's ever referred to this way in canon, please feel free to inform me, but I don't recall it as being so). But as I suggested with my edit, "Domans speak the common tongue of the Hyur" and "Doman is its own independent language" are not mutually exclusive concepts. To suggest they are and to simplify the matter to "Doman isn't a language" doesn't help people get a clear picture of the lore.

You can encourage people to roleplay language barriers in ways that make sense without perpetuating incorrect ideas about the lore.

Anyway, that's all I've got to say on the matter, since this is a Making Connections thread and not a Character Workshop thread. OP, I hope you find what it is you're looking for; best of luck!

I appreciate your help, and kindness. I am not here to be judged by my lack of lore knowledge, or mess ups with writing. I am just trying to find connections.Â Heart
