About Goidheren
Goiðeren is a language of the fictional world of Ûr. The version I will be "recording" here has the conceit of having been "frozen" and is taught in-universe as a sort of lingua franca for use alongside the native tongues of part of the geographical region called Panor. It is thus not the mother tongue of almost any of its speakers in that form in the time period that I focus on, but is accessible to most in its range and most written works are translated into it sooner or later.
