Ayleidoon[1] was the main language and writing system of the Ayleids. Ayleidoon was very similar to the Aldmeri Language, as with the other languages of the other races of Mer.[2] [3][4] [5] A great amount was known about Ayleidoon, and a large number of translated words have been recovered since the end of their civilization.
