In Verse:Angai, Dylathian is an extremely conservative Zzeic language (branch of the Akya-Woms family including Zzean) with a Welsh-like grammar and aesthetic. Dylathian is spoken in the Sarnathian mountain range in the borderlands of Aem-Zmaə, which contains Mt. ___, the highest mountain in Angai. Like its neighboring relatives, Dylathian is considered vital for reconstructing the early history of the Zzeic branch.
