This is the common tongue. It developed relatively recently, as the Kingdom of Rona enveloped most of Southern Verosia. It is simply the dialect of Glinnen that was spoken by the Ronans and evolved with contact with the Moarik peoples. As Rona extended its reach more languages became intertwined with this language, and an informal bastardization was commonly spoken in most regions. Finally, the Triumverate decided that the best way to keep public order was to establish a singular language to be spoken commonly throughout the kingdom. Thus, this language was given a name, Verosian, and formally structured. It was assigned to the Chroniclers of Kionanthus who put it into writing, made decisions on spelling and grammar, and developed dictionaries for the teaching of the language. The Ronan Church established a system of schools in every major city, taught by scholars of Kionanthus, and required all youths to attend (though it wasn't enforced). These schools taught this language, reading, writing, arithmetic (Kamoran and Parthan mathematics), history (from a Ronan point of view) and religion (Ronan Church). Generally, children from the age of 6 to 11 were taught for a couple hours a day, except on holy days. The King named Verosian the official language of Rona, and thus the merchant houses adopted the language as the common form for trade. Eventually all major races learned it and began teaching their own youth. There were still many places where it was only a second language, and some secluded regions never spoke it at all. This language became the language that connected the world in the Age of Glory. However, as Rona collapsed, so too did its school systems. In places where it was still spoken as a second language it has begun to be forgotten. It may be that in the future this language will no longer be known universally.
