While written Skyrdagor is the same throughout all of the Skyrdagor-speaking world, there is no standard spoken dialect, and some of them vary widely in pronunciation. The written language reflects ''Middle Skyrdagor'', but while the most conservative varieties - like ''Ylvostyzdor'' - do not diverge much in pronunciation, many others do, like the most commonly heard and studied one, ''Skyrdegan Skyrdagor'', based on the dialect of ''Tol Sakszyv'' [tɔl ʃɒksɯʊ̯], former imperial capital and modern-day capital of the Republic of Skyrdagor. As an example, the name “Skyrdagor” was most likely pronounced in Middle Skyrdagor as [skɨɽˈdagoɽ] like in modern Ylvostyzdor, but in the three most spoken varieties it is [ɧɯ˞ˈdɒː˞] (Skyrdegan Skyrdagor), [ɧɨɽˈɖɔwɽ] (Karynaktjur), and [ʂɨɖˈɖaɣʊː] (Arkjatrur).<br/>
Unless otherwise noted, all transcriptions in this article refer to Skyrdegan Skyrdagor.

The Skyrdagor language (native name Skyrdegan mast [ɧɯ˞deːan mɒʃt]) is the language of Greater Skyrdagor ([ɧɯ˞dɒː˞]), a plurinational area on the planet of Calémere, in northeastern Márusúturon, once part of the Skyrdagor Empire. It is the official language in all eight countries of this area — Skyrdagor, Gorjan, Arkjatar, Aksalbor, Karynaktja, Askand, Tulfasysz, and Ylvostydh — as well as a minority language in Brono, Ikalurilut, and the Inquisition.

While written Skyrdagor is the same throughout all of the Skyrdagor-speaking world, there is no standard spoken dialect, and some of them vary widely in pronunciation. The written language reflects Middle Skyrdagor, but while the most conservative varieties - like Ylvostyzdor - do not diverge much in pronunciation, many others do, like the most commonly heard and studied one, Skyrdegan Skyrdagor, based on the dialect of Tol Sakszyv [tɔl ʃɒksɯʊ̯], former imperial capital and modern-day capital of the Republic of Skyrdagor. As an example, the name “Skyrdagor” was most likely pronounced in Middle Skyrdagor as [ʃkɨɽˈdagoɽ] like in modern Ylvostyzdor, but in the three most spoken varieties it is [ɧɯ˞ˈdɒː˞] (Skyrdegan Skyrdagor), [ɧɨɽˈɖɔwɽ] (Karynaktjur), and [ʂɨɖˈɖaɣʊː] (Arkjatrur).

Unless otherwise noted, all transcriptions in this article refer to Skyrdegan Skyrdagor.
