	The mysterious '''Volsic Languages''' are an ancient language family of Elondor, connected to the equally mysterious Volsians. A presumed distant cousin of Avalian, they were spoken throughout southern Celsond, and ostensibly at least as far east as central Nelkon, in the Neolithic and early Bronze Age, but after centuries of conflict with the Marsic, Hyatti, Erenian, and Celdic peoples, only a single Volsic idiom survives, the Erkenmian language (an as of now unrealized project), spoken by the indigenous population of the Erkenmian desert in the northern Reknaya.
