Khazalid, also known as Old Khazalid, was the language spoken by the Khazalid Empire, though many of the Dispossessed clans have long forgotten much of this ancestral language and instead speak dialects descended from it.[1a]

Structure

Old Khazalid uses runic Klinkerhun letters. Many Dispossessed clans are wholly unable to read this ancestral language.[1a]

History

Age of Myth

Old Khazalid was the most prominently used language and script of the Khazalid Empires.[1a]

Age of Chaos

Those Duardin who have enough sense to leave their doomed Karaks behind and flee to the sky or to Azyr lose much of their lore and history. Eventually even the tongues they speak become distinct from one another, though most Duardin seem to still speak some manner of Modern Khazalid as well as their own distinct languages.[1a][2a][3a][3b]

Age of Sigmar

By the time Sigmar's Tempest has broken across the Mortal Realms and Dispossessed return to retake their ancestral homes, most of those who spoke the old tongue have long since passed and many of the living generations never knew it.[1a]
