The name taken on its own reveals what part of the world this family is from and hints at its importance. Indeed, the '''Seligonian Languages''' are the most prominent and by far the most widespread of Seligon’s three ancient language families (the others being Avalian and Iliatarian). And yet, it is one of the ancient language families, and, not unlike Avalian, it saw its heyday before Lécaronian times, in the Empires and civilizations of the Bronze Age. All great literary language of Seligon, save for Classical Shaharic, came from this family, and before the Olgish conquest, most of Seligon spoke languages that were members of this family. | The name taken on its own reveals what part of the world this family is from and hints at its importance.
