A few quesitons[edit]

Not sure where to include Old Cyrodilic, Old Orcish is placed under Orcish, breaking alphabetical order for simplicity (a choice I agree with) but it isn't that noticable because they're both O names, putting Old Cyrodilic under Cyrodilic would be weird.

Then there's also the repeat of Cyrodilic and Tamrielic. There aren't really enough languages to justify a dual mention imo unlike, say, islands, where you can get away with including a commonly known alternate name because there's just so many. Mindtrait0r (talk) 22:58, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Nameless languages[edit]

So there's two languages currently listed that aren't ever given a name: Goblin Language and Kothringi Language. Personally, I don't think we should list these outside of a note saying that they exist but have no name. Other examples of languages without a name that so far aren't included are those of the Sload, Bosmer, and Lamia. Mindtrait0r (talk) 14:25, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

The goblin langauge might just be called goblin. ON:Landal Gevont captiomed dialogue with goblins calls it goblin gibberish. While player dialogue with Skyrim:Gogh calls its Goblin. tarponpet (talk) 10:29 AM, 22 September 2023 (EST)
Excellent find with the Gogh line. I'll look for an instance of just Kothringi, it may have popped up in a loading screen or smth. Mindtrait0r (talk) 14:44, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
