The Arithide language is the language spoken in Arithia, natively by the Areth. It is the largest and most historically significant member of the Arophanic language family, and is also one of the earliest attested languages of Ilethes. This umbrella term covers Modern Arithide and its diachronic predecessors (most notably Classical Arithide), and, in certain circles, closely-related regional lects.

In common parlance, Arithide or the Arithide language simply means the modern standard tongue of Arithia.

Name and Genealogy

The name Arithide is from the Arithide arithīde, combining Areth with -īde, the suffix denoting languages. An older name for the language was Arithian, but this name gradually fell out of favour as Nativisation gained traction in the 1990s CIE.
