The Usprian languages are a family of indigenous related languages of Aurora, consisting of three extant and nine extinct languages. The two extant languages in Aurora, Kaltareg and Terghyntek evolved from the Eastern Morsic sub-branch of Morsic; whilst Toranslic, Rombaric, and Llygadian from the Western Morsic sub-branch. The Zagruric and Korsian branches are all extinct, some languages thousands of years ago and some up until the early 20th century.
Llygadian is a language isolate in its region, being spoken in Llygad Duw in South Gondwana. The most accepted theory is that it arrived from migratory Usprii speaking a proto form of the Western Morsic language in the second millennium BCE.
