I. About

Vulgar Diūn was the variant of Diūn spoken by much of the commoners throughout the Diūn cultural area following the Classical Period (200 BK - 200 YSK). There was no unified dialect called Vulgar Diūn, but a collection of regional dialects that would continue to evolve to create the Diūn Language Family. The Official Variant of Diūn referred to as Classical Diūn was used as the official language of government and literature. The variant discussed on this page will be the variant that was spoken in and around the City of Ccav.
