Aiyoti

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.

Aeridanish Influence

Due to a long history of trade with the north, Aiyoti has a huge Aeridanish influence, with as much as 26% of its modern everyday vocabulary coming from Aeridanish. In Arioki schools at least basic conversational Aiyoti/Aeridanish is taught, being odd for one of these languages not to be taught.
