This article is about the language of antiquity. For the modern language sometimes colloquially called "Cyrodilic", see Tamrielic.

Old Cyrodilic, also known as Slave's Cant,[UOL 1] or simply Cyrodilic, is the language from which Tamrielic descended.[1]:6

A variation of Old Cyrodilic (Ayleidoon) was once spoken by the Ayleids.[2] In 1E 2813, Cyrodilic became the language of all legal documents, replacing High Elvish.[1]:6
