In addition to Xi'an, what other languages have we begun to flesh out?

TL;DRXi'an and Banu have been released as community guides, while ancient Tevarin and Vanduul languages are also in development, with less public detail so far.

Xi'an and Banu have been released as guides to the community, in the form of the Rust Society Guide to Banu, which is a really wonderful document for diving into the culture. And touching on what Dave said, developing these languages has really allowed us to think about these species in ways that we wouldn't have, just coming at it from our more gameplay mindset, or even creating a full verse and talking about politics and stuff. Britton a lot of times, for his language development, needs to know details that we wouldn't really dedicate time to, like, can Banu choke on something? That was a question, because he was going down this word development and was wondering, would he borrow humans' word for choking, or would they have their own word because they choke on stuff all the time? Like, okay, sure, let's have a fun 15-minute conversation about this. So that's been great. And then, not as public so far, we are developing additional languages for ancient Tevarin, which in the lore was used pre the first two Tevarin wars and fell out of favor and has recently been having a bit of a cultural resurgence, as among the Tevarin there's been a growing movement to reconnect with their cultural past. And then also, of course, the Vanduul is being worked on.
