Common Tongue	comment	In Real Life, there are more languages than there are cultures speaking them. Even within what is designated as a single "language"note Which is a fuzzier distinction than you might think, there may be numerous dialects, slang, and a thousand other variations. People ten miles away from each other might not understand a word the others say. This makes communication difficult. So, many speculative fiction writers use a shortcut: having everybody speak the same language. It can be the simple way, by just having everyone speak the same native tongue; or it can be the realistic way, by having a lingua franca that many people learn as a second language to communicate with people who probably have also learned it as second language. Usually called the Common Speech/Tongue, or simply Common or Basic, this is a baseline language that is used by the vast majority of the setting. Oftentimes, it is the human language, since humans are almost always the most widespread race, and other races will have their own "Common" language that most or all their members speak. All dwarves will speak Dwarven, all elves Elven (or Elvish) and so on. If it is never stated explicitly that everyone is speaking the same language, it might be a case of Translation Convention or even Translator Microbes instead. See also Aliens Speaking English and Animal Talk. Contrast Classical Tongue, which was often a Common Tongue long ago, and Noble Tongue, which is used by the upper classes. See also Esperanto, an attempt to create this trope in real life. If you are not a native English speaker, you are currently experiencing this trope as Truth in Television by reading this page, as English is today's de facto global language throughout the entire world. It's so global that, despite being the 4th-most spoken native language in the world, it still has more second-language speakers than first-language ones. On a more local level this happens with Spanish and Portuguese in Latin America; English or French in mainland Europe; English or French in different parts of Africa; Russian in Central Asia; Arabic (and, to a lesser extent, Farsi) in the Middle East; Mandarin Chinese in East Asia; English and Hindi in South Asia; and English in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Essentially most were forced to use the language of whatever big neighbor conquered or colonized them, and it persisted post-independence. Oh yeah, and Latin used to be one (ever wondered why most of continental Western Europe speaks a bunch of closely-related languages?). Examples

Common Tongue / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age has the King's Tongue, which was apparently invented by the dwarves to replace a more archaic and formal language, and spread to the surface races through trade. It's the main language for humans, though there are others (Orlesian, for example). The elves have a language of their own, but is has been mostly lost as a result of centuries of slavery and the like. Qunari also have their own language, Qunlat, which is part of the reason they have a reputation for being taciturn in the rest of Thedas — their language skills in the common tongue simply aren't well developed.

The Traben Empire dominated that area of the galaxy before it collapsed, so remains as a lingua franca used for business (much like English).

This is because Japan Took Over The World (or at least the sciences) on Earth, and the Argon, one of the founding members of the Community, are a Lost Colony of Earth. It seems the Argon language was selected because other species' languages were just too complex or unpronounceable; almost everyone can at least pronounce Japanese (except the Boron, who have to rely on translators no matter who they're speaking to... having a language that incorporates pheromones will do that).

Shortly after humans and thranx met one another, they spent some time working out a language that was easily pronounceable by both species, as they had wildly different vocal apparatus, and the thranx language incorporated significant body language aspects in addition to vocalizations. When additional species were encountered, symbospeech was found to be functionally pronounceable by them, too, and thus became the de facto galactic language.

The Hrothgar, a race of huge muscular feline men,didn't have the ability to speak common at first. Because of their ferocious looking appearance and their inability to communicate, there was fear and misaimed conflict by others when they arrived in Eorzea. Once the Hrothgar mastered the common language, fears of them were put to rest and they were welcomed by all.

Common Tongue / int_5bd0554b	comment	Common in Warcraft games. It is primarily the language of humans, but nearly everybody can speak either it or Low Common, which sounds like a Hulk Speak version of Common. Now, it makes sense that races allied with humans would learn their language, and the orcs could've picked up how to speak it during the war or while in internment camps, but it makes less sense when tauren in Warcraft III can communicate with humans and orcs despite never meeting either one. In World of Warcraft Common is the Alliance universe language (the Horde has Orcish) and is not understood by Horde races. However this is because of game mechanics (blood elves and undead should definitely be able to speak it, as well as many orcs and goblins) and there are still NPCs in game that can be understood by all factions. It's implied that the Forsaken lose the ability to speak the languages they knew in life (a tailor in the undead city in WoW says his former family were speaking a language "I no longer understand". However, a later RPG book states that Forsaken can still speak Common, but refuse to do so to distance themselves from their old lives. Instead they speak Gutterspeak, formerly the Thieves' Cant of Lordaeron.

Common Tongue / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons, being heavily based on The Lord of the Rings, uses this extensively. But tries to not give in completely as it has language-related magic. Specific settings are likely to have a "Lingua Franca" and a handful of specific languages. Forgotten Realms subverts this by having several "trade languages" even on FaerÃ»n. Usually people can talk to each other, but on the larger scale there are Common "common" (Heartlands' dialect of Planecommon), Kara-tur "common", Undercommon (mix of Dwarven, Gnomish, Low Drow, Upper Common, etc.), Auld Wyrmish ("common" across dragon subspecies). Other continents may have their own "common" languages, like Midani of Zakhara. While many specific cultures retain their own tongues still, though some reduced to dialects of "common". So learning all half a hundred or so present tongues (like Wemic or Gnomish speech) is unnecessary, but doesn't that comprehend languages spell seem worth learning now? (If you want to talk back, you might need the tongues spell too.) Some other D&D settings have a named language (usually human) that serves the in-game function of a Common tongue, such as Thyatian in Mystara (the language of the Known World region's dominant empire) or Balok in Ravenloft (the language of its oldest domain, favored by merchants). Simplified in 4th edition (no surprise there); for the most part there are only ten languages, with Common being the trade language. There are however 7 other languages for different regions. Of particular note is the Supernal language, the language of the Gods, the very first language. When the speaker speaks in Supernal, everyone would understand what the speaker says as if in their own native tongue. In fact, all other languages are variants of the Supernal, in how the various races perceived the Supernal language. While you can learn the Supernal language, ultimately subverted because mortals lack the necessary power to fully speak in Supernal, thus losing its capability as universal language. One old 1E article on AD&D languages proposed that Orcish, Goblin, Kobold, Gnoll and similar tongues weren't separate racial languages, but dialects of a monsters' version of this trope. This would explain why such races, never renowned as intellectuals, automatically knew each others' languages in the 1E era. The 5E Planescape books state that the Common tongue of each material plane is inexplicably intelligible with every other world's Common, leading to the in-universe hypothesis that the language originated in Sigil. Not that you'd know with all the Cockney-based chant flying around the Cage.

The angara of Mass Effect: Andromeda are said in the Codex to use their trade language as a lingua franca, due to several hundred years of linguistic drift among their separated planets, to say nothing of each angaran family having their own individual languages.

Common Tongue / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: Suubverted. The series has no single common tongue but rather a few of them. Translation Convention is employed, so people who don't speak the current POV character's language are rendered unintelligible. The "Common Tongue of Westeros" is only universal in the continent of Westeros itself, where most of the action takes place. It is a major world language, and most merchants in major ports from Essos to the Summer Isles will probably be at least familiar with it - but more isolated groups like the Dothraki mounted hordes in central Essos do not know it. Specifically, the "Common Tongue" is actually the language of the Andals, who migrated to Westeros thousands of years ago, displacing the earlier "Old Tongue" of the First Men. The conceit of the story is that Westeros is a fantasy version of the British Isles, but as a continent the size of South America. The Andals are thus the analogue of the Anglo-Saxons, and the First Men the analogue of the Celts. Meanwhile, in Essos, the Valyrian empire once ruled half the known world, and was basically Fantasy Rome (with dragons) - but their empire collapsed 400 years ago after a volcanic eruption in their capital, and their provinces fragmented. Since this collapse, the languages spoken by all their different colonies in the Free Cities and elsewhere drifted into different "Low Valyrian" languages. Their original language, "High Valyrian", is still used by scholars and educated social elites, and is thus their fantasy analogue of Latin. The different Low Valyrian languages are like how French and Italian diverged from each other. The vocabulary of the Slaver's Bay dialects, in particular, is by influenced by Old Ghiscari, an extinct language that was displaced by Valyrian thousands of years ago, hence why the freed slaves call Daenerys "Mhysa", the Ghiscari word for "mother". Well-educated aristocrats from Oldtown to Meereen can speak High Valyrian, but in terms of languages used by the man on the street, it's a bit of a tossup. Sailors are even described as using a pidgin "Trade talk" to communicate in ports, mirroring real life use.

In X and Y they explicitly speak French and Looker even has communication problems with a Kantonese women who speaks Japanese. In the anime no such language barriers exist. Ash can go from Sinnoh to Unova then to Kalos and speak perfectly with others. In the Japanese version of a Sinnoh episode, Jessie did mention she needed to learn English, yet she can visit Alola and Unova (both based off American states) and speak to the locals with ease. Everyone speaks the same language, however written language is not as simple. On top of the original Japanese, there is also the originally-4kids-exclusive writing that comes in several different forms. The protagonists, however, have no issue reading any variation of it. Similar to the anime, the PokÃ©mon Adventures manga uses this trope. Characters from both the Japanese-based regions and non-Japanese ones can interact with no language barrier. Red from Pocket Monsters is a kid from a Japanese-based region that never seems to have any issue speaking to people, no matter what region he is in.

Common Tongue / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer tends to lean on Reikspiel, the language of the Empire, in this capacity. It isn't a universal world language by any means, but the Empire is easily the biggest and most prominent of the human realms, and hence its language has a certain reach and importance as a Lingua Franca. Most elves, dwarfs and others who deal with humans tend to learn Reikspiel for communication (the elder races finding it childishly easy, but crude and ugly on the tongue), and even brutish races like Orcs and Beastmen tend to learn a few choice boasts and insults to torment human victims with. Dwarves are almost always heard speaking in Reikspiel because they don't like outsiders to hear Khazalid being spoken. In the RPG, set largely in the Empire, all characters are presumed to know Reikspiel, but non-Imperial characters also get their own native language for free. In the first edition, however, Reikspiel was just a dialect of a true common tongue called Old Worlder (which had its own Greek-and-Latin equivalent in Classical Old Worlder).

Common Tongue / int_c3335b05	comment	In RWBY: Scars, everyone speaks a language explicitly called "Common Tongue". This explains all the non-English names like Weiss Schnee and Xiao Long Yang. Most of the non-Common Tongue words come from "Old" languages that parallel Earth languages (such as Old Atlesian being German).

Common Tongue / int_c43df4d8	comment	In Doctor Who, this trope is subverted — the TARDIS is translating for both the Doctor and his companions. This usually comes across to the audience as Recieved Pronunciation English. Except for the Ninth Doctor, who had a Northern accent. And the Tenth (Estuary), Twelfth (Scottish) and the Thirteenth (Northern again, but Yorkshire rather than Nine's Manchester). If you attempt to speak a native's language to them on purpose while being translated, it will sound like a foreign language they know of, but can't speak themselves. Translation also fails if the language lacks the concept for the word you are using, such as in The Fires of Pompeii when a companion tries to warn the citizens about a volcano they didn't understand as Latin didn't have a word for it during that time period — until Mt. Vesuvius erupted. This justifies the Doctor's technobabble as both things untranslated (nonsense words), and him having to work around this limitation by explaining things out or use metaphors. A good example of this in real life is "layman's terms", wherein somebody is trying to explain specialized knowledge to somebody who doesn't know specialized vocabulary or key concepts.

There's also the "lost languages" of the Smurfs, which correspond to other human languages, such as Schtroumpf (French), Pitufo (Spanish), Schlumpf (German), Puffo (Italian), and Smurfentaal (Dutch).

Common Tongue / int_d5505073	comment	In the Uplift series the ridiculously organized and stagnant culture of galactic civilization has resulted in at least twelve different Galactic languages (numbered 1-12) designed to accommodate the wide variety in vocal structures; humans seem to have the easiest time with Gal 7. One of the assorted ways that Earthclan is different from the other oxy-breathing races is that they have languages other than Galactic, mostly Anglic and Trinary, a poetic language designed for dolphins. Gal One is a binary language like Morse code, mostly used to program computers. Gal Two is basic, logical, unambiguous... and boring. Gal Three, Four, and Ten are hard for humans to speak but neo-dolphins have little difficulty. Gal Five and Nine are completely unpronounceable to Earthlings. Gal Six, Eight, Eleven, and Twelve are difficult for Earthlings but possible. Gal Eleven is intended to be used to bridge the gap between different orders of life (oxygen, hydrogen, machine ...), it's only partially successful and intended to be transmitted by radio or psi. On Jijo in the second trilogy, colonized by six species living a low-tech lifestyle, most people speak Gal Two, Gal Seven, and Anglic interchangeably (though Urs speak Anglic with a lisp). The latter is because the humans were the only species to know a means of recording information without electronics (books), so nearly every written word on Jijo is in Anglic.

Common Tongue / int_d5ddd6c1	comment	This is typically justified in PokÃ©mon: The Series in that they're in Japanese-like regions (the first two sharing the names of their real-world inspirations) so everyone speaks Japaneseâ€¦ except later the regions were expanded to be based off other countries, such as America (PokÃ©mon Black and White's Unova) and France (X and Y's Kalos). In X and Y they explicitly speak French and Looker even has communication problems with a Kantonese women who speaks Japanese. In the anime no such language barriers exist. Ash can go from Sinnoh to Unova then to Kalos and speak perfectly with others. In the Japanese version of a Sinnoh episode, Jessie did mention she needed to learn English, yet she can visit Alola and Unova (both based off American states) and speak to the locals with ease. Everyone speaks the same language, however written language is not as simple. On top of the original Japanese, there is also the originally-4kids-exclusive writing that comes in several different forms. The protagonists, however, have no issue reading any variation of it.

Its omnipresence is justified with the fact that you can become a fluid speaker after listening to it for just a few minutes, as April does upon her first visit to Arcadia. It's magic. Interestingly, ZoÃ« from Dreamfall: The Longest Journey doesn't appear to need to listen for several minutes before learning the language. Perhaps it's because she's not really there and is only dreaming.

As it happens, most of the aliens speak English anyway, as because most of the aliens we see are diplomats and interstellar merchants, and Earth is the new dominant power in both of these areas (the Minbari being semi-isolationist Space Elves). Also applies to humans, who seem to have all of their ancestral languages (for example, Susan Ivanova's native language is Russian; she has an American accent from her education in American schools) but use English as a common tongue among themselves. And played for a plot point in one episode. A Minbari ship, meeting an alien race for the first time, communicates to them in Interlac ... and gets a reply in Minbari. Recall that bit above about the Minbari being isolationist, and you will realize the same thing the crew did ... the aliens were lying about not meeting the Minbari before.
