1. The punctuation shaker and random capital letters will not be needed
2. Names will be pronounceable and not random strings of letters.
3. Language doesn't structure thought, it is the people that structure the language
4. The Alweld (my "common tongue", or the Shokiyan name for English) was born because of the First Gemsinger visiting the different races and absorbing words and phrases from the many languages he heard. Not long after his Quest ended, the decision was made to create a common language based on what he had found, so the five races could easily understand each other, creating the All-Wielder's Tongue, or the Alweld for short.
5. In addition to the Alweld, there is Ruhar, the elven tongue, the dwarven tongue, the avri tongue, the holy tongue (used by priests and Seers to communicate with Meikon and the spirits) and the demon tongue (spoken by mainly evil creatures)
6. Miresa will be learning a little survival Ruhar and a little of the holy tongue, but not overnight.
7. Miresa and Bradlin can read because they are in academies, Galia can read because she collects books, and Arune can read because Miresa taught her
8. There will not be puns that depend on the English language.
9. Human names on Shokiyu differ depending on the region, elven names sound like a mixture of Spanish, Japanese, and Gaelic, and avri names are Chinese based, to name some of my conventions
