Languages of Grendaw

In the Vlandstar Epic, it seems that everyone speaks the same language, English. This is not the case. It seems where many people speak many different languages, the language that will be presented as English will be the person who's point of view it is. The language groups of Manosar are Elvin, Goblish, Dwarvic, Lizeese, Nomad, and Isolate. Now for a short analysis of each group: (the Language names are in the English translation)
Elvin Languages-
Vlandstarian- Spoken by Vlandstar, Zipz and the Pox Plains. Sounds like a cross of Spanish and Romanian.
