[COLOR=#DAD7CD][gfont=Rationale][exsize=14][glow=indigo][b]Deucalic[/b][/glow], more accurately known as [B]Dþrúkállík[/B] in the language, and informally as the [b]Old Tongue[/b], was the primary spoken language of the Deucalian people and those assimilated into their culture. Following their departure of Deucalia, Deucalic has since splintered into a number of differing dialects, although they all remain mutually intelligible with one another. Contrary to how outsiders might refer to it, Deucalic is neither called, nor known as, “Deucalian”.[/exsize][/gfont][/COLOR][/justify]

[justify][gfont=Rationale][exsize=14][COLOR=#DAD7CD]It is unknown when the ancient precursors that would become the Deucalians first arrived on Deucalia, although faint linguistic similarities strongly suggests [i]Old Deucalic[/i] is or descended from the proto-Basic family, similar to Old Coruscanti, Old Kuati, Old Brentaal and Old Corellian. Nonetheless, at some point the group that would become Deucalians diverged, both socially and culturally, which led to the language developing and evolving onto a completely separate path.
Since the exodus from Deucalia, [i]Deucalic[/i] has branched out into multiple dialects, due to their peoples interacting with other cultures across the galaxy. Consequently, [i]Deucalic[/i] has since been influenced by a number of other languages, such as Basic, Huttese, Bocce or Mando'a, with most dialects varying depending on the location in the galaxy where it is spoken. One common variant is;
[list][*][i]Æðsta Dþrúkállík[/i][color=transparent]_[/color]or [i]"Pure Deucalic"[/i], which is widely considered to be the oldest and "least-tainted" dialect.[/list]
Other dialects included;
[list][*][i]Tómarúm Dþrúkállík[/i][color=transparent]_[/color]or [i]"Spacer Deucalic"[/i] ([i]Deucalic[/i] influenced by Basic and/or Bocce)[/list]
[list][*][i]Mengað Dþrúkállík[/i][color=transparent]_[/color]or [i]"Polluted Deucalic"[/i] ([i]Deucalic[/i] influenced by Huttese, although can sometimes include Durese, Mando'a or Concordian)[/list]
[list][*][i]Röskun Dþrúkállík[/i][color=transparent]_[/color]or [i]"Jumbled Deucalic"[/i] ([i]Deucalic[/i] heavily diluted by any foreign language, so that very few words are actually Deucalic)[/list]
[list][*][i]Sameinuð Dþrúkállík[/i][color=transparent]_[/color]or [i]"Hybrid Deucalic"[/i] ([i]Deucalic[/i] that amalgamates elements of several dialects).[/list]
With the exception of "Pure Deucalic" (which is most common to, and most heavily spoken within, conservative Deucalian clans), most dialects can be found scattered among all the surviving Deucalian clans, as well as some descendants. Although it is not considered a formal necessity, most Decualians speak [i]Deucalic[/i] fluently and can readily understand the various dialects. For the vast majority, [i]Deucalic[/i] is learned in tandem with Basic, making most Deucalians innately bilingual, before choosing to pick up additional languages. It was extremely rare to find a Deucalian that did not speak the Old Tongue, or at the very least, readily understand it.
Because of the sundering of Deucalian civilization, some galactic powers (such as the Imperial Republica) consider [i]Deucalic[/i] to be a dying language, as the Deucalian society has undergone a cultural decline over the past three centuries.
