Oriente is a language in an alternate world where the Roman Empire never split into East and West and was never fully conquered by barbarians, spoken by people in Southeastern Germania, mostly in Austro-Germania. It was formed as a lingua franca between the many Celtic towns that mixed their own tribal languages with Latin.
