See:

The Minidun Language of eastern Bergonia.  Spoken by more people than any other language, thus the primary language for government, law and political debate.  An "analytical" language, like English, with few internal inflections and many "helping words" and compound words  Typical syntax is subject-object-verb.

The Nacateca Language of western Bergonia, the original language for Shufrantei religion, culture and art.  Still dominant in Berg philosophy, and produces very powerful literature.  A heavily inflected language, with the verb nearly always coming at the end of a sentence.

Alphabets & Writing Systems throughout Bergonian history.  Since 1850 the Roman Alphabet has been used by all Bergonian languages, but before Columbus the atrei had thousands of alphabets and other writing systems.
