Hithaeli
From RocksfallWiki
Hithaeli is the language spoken by the hith and their allies in Nimneha Bay and the broader region of western Ashnabis. There are many hith languages, whose analysis to date has been very limited, but Hithaeli is the best known among these because of the proximity of Nimneha Bay to the city of Kaskind and the growing immigrant population due to the fos rush in the area. The total number of speakers is probably around 50,000.
