This is actually not true. The Common tongue was created by Hyuran priests during the 4th Astral Era and because the Hyur seem to travel everywhere, Â dialects of that Common tongue seem to show up in many places. Â However, Â there are many many languages out there in the world besides Common. The Au Ra, for example, have tons of languages unique to their tribes.
You can read more about some of the different languages of the world here.

Would it be comparable to English versus German vs Arabian, in how they're speakable by everyone who knows them? Or would an Au'ra speak in something more guttural and feral, something that only they can speak fluently due to the development of their throats and such, similar to how a Miqo'te pronounces those 'h' sounds so uniquely?
Like I mentioned above, Â the Au Ra have several languages, Â though the ancient Auri tongue, which most Xaela use today for inter-tribe communication, is based on Mongolian. SE throws in a few made-up, Mongolian-sounding phrases, but it's mostly Mongolian based.
Well lay me sideways.. It's been entirely too long since I've looked into that, apparently! ^.^ Thank you much for the links.
