Old Shaian

Summary
Old Shaian is the language between Antique Shaian and Modern Shaian, and was at one time the lingua franca of the Empire of Astandalas. After Old Shaian, the language ceased to be written in the old ideographs, presumably changing to some kind of alphabet.

While modern Shaian is widely spoken across the worlds where the Empire used to be, Old Shaian is different enough from Modern not to be mutually intelligible, and is in the modern day of most of the books primarily of academic and magical interest.
