The Dawin language is a mystery, seemingly having appeared with no origin. The first Dawi spoke Tok like their Torgali ancestors, but adopted the Dawin language soon after the separation of the “Forgotten Islands”. There is no history, even internally, as to how or when this happened, but many historians believe Dawin is the ancient Tok-speakers’ attempts to decipher an ancient Varian dialect that was only left etched into the surviving buildings of their once great civilization in the Dawi Lands. While Dawin shares some letters with Common, the alphabets have developed entirely differently and the two modern languages are almost entirely unrelated.
