How Literate are your D&D Worlds?

[Naanomi]

I was literally referring to the words used by the person I quoted with the use of the word "degraded".

And simple is inferred from the fact that it isn't described at all, while the other languages have notes about their complexity, their fluidity, and other non-simple elements.

I said a 'degraded form of draconic'... Like elven is a degraded form of Sylvan; and Dwarven is a degraded form (through some intermediaries) of primordial... Because any setting that has 'real true languages' unlike anything found in the real world, chances are all but the most absolutely isolated populations will be speaking languages derived from those millennia-old unaltered tongues unless intentionally constructing a language to avoid doing so (I'm looking at you, druidic)
