About Gimroan Ósleiðr is one of the oldest languages in the world of Dunia and as far as historians can tell, was brought to the world from the Winterweald when the Vindral and Illim marched south into the Gimroan Basin many hundreds of years ago, together with what was then proto-Qaj.

It is believed it's a descendant language of Altága Vekja, the language of the Fay.

Both of the languages share a few similarities such as the voiceless alveolar lateral affricate sound tlh, but are largely utterly different, which is why most linguists agree that the two languages are not stemmed from a common ancestor language, but instead developed separately and then exchanged words, sounds and meanings from each other over time.

Ósleiðr is a language that is very poetic and has many synonyms and kennings for different words, allowing for great flexibility in prose and is spoken in almost the entirety of Gimroen and primarily in the Empire of Kfandr.
