=== Language Similarity ===
The languages above are related to each other and evolved naturally over the history of this world. As such, many languages (particularly ones spoken in the same region or historically by related groups of people) exhibit some degree of similarity to other languages, even sometimes to the point of mutual intelligibility (which for sake of simplicity is treated as symmetric). These relationships are captured above in the "Similarity" column of the Regional Languages table, as well as in the following table for languages spoken in different regions:

{| class="wikitable"

! Language 2
! Similarity
! Reason for similarity
|-
| Ao
| Eturisi

|-
| Araxian

| Moderate
| Araxian and Ordian share a common ancestor language which they inherited from people who lived in the mountains between Araxia and Ordinatus.
