High Vinthish is for all intents and purposes, a dead language, now taught only to the intellectual elite. It was widespread before the time of The Great Purge to facilitate communication among all nations; known as the "Language of the Ancients". Special care was always taken to keep it pristine, meaning it was never allowed to evolve naturally as all languages tend to do.
