Ta Raonta (literally "Speech One") or Stonelandic is the official language of the Kingdom of Stoneland, a country in the (undiscovered) continent of Bazariya. It is the standardized form of the so-called "King's Speech" which used to be the lingua franca par excellence in Bazariya. Nowadays, it is spoken mainly in Stoneland, and taught all over Bazariya as a means of cultural development.
