There are several languages among the populations and races of Thedas. Some were lost with the passing of time and were replaced by others.
- The common tongue, also referred as the King's Tongue or Trade tongue, was invented by the dwarves in order to trade with each other and later introduced to other races. It is the most common language of Ferelden.
- Ander in Anderfels
- Antivan in Antiva
- The dwarven languages in the present day are no longer spoken, and only a few words and phrases remain in common usage
- The elven language or Elvish was largely lost when Elvhenan fell to the Tevinter Imperium. In modern-day Thedas, elves use some Elvish words (the Dalish more frequently than city elves), but speak the common tongue on a regular basis. Keepers are the only ones who know the secret of writing it
- Qunlat, the Qunari language
- Orlesian in Orlais
- Rivaini in Rivain
- Tevene is the current language in the Tevinter Imperium. People that are not Tevinter usually call the language Tevinter. Ancient Tevene is the ancient and dead language of Tevinter Imperium. The annums (annual holidays) in the Thedosian calendar use a high name from Ancient Tevene, and a low name (Trade tongue)
