Aiyoti (alt. Aioti) is the largest surviving East Serkr language, it is the national & most spoken language in Aiyota/Aiota. The language is agglutinative/fusional. "Official Aiyoti" is highly standardized and often differs a lot from regional dialects. It is one of the most spoken and economically important languages in universalis, especially in Himalia, Issagga and the Serkr, as well as being widely taught in Aeridanish schools.

Dialects
Although Aiyoti is a highly standardized and nationalized language, dialects still remain very prevalent with some being just barely reminiscent of Standard Aiyoti (eg. Kyintan Yang Aiyoti). Throughout the nation, Standard Aiyoti is taught together with Standard Aeridanish and occasionally Yoka Tsi.
