This is heavily based off of the speculated tree from UESP: Ehlnofex Languages featuring my own speculations.
Notes: Old Cyrodilic is partly based on Ayleidoon, Nedic and Tsaesci. Old Cyrodilic can be thought of as a pidegonlanguage or possibly a lingua franca.
*Dwemeris is spoken by some scholars, but not in a speech community.
**I speculate Ashland is a dialect of Dunmeris.
+Spoken by Gelebor and known by some scholars.
The choice to call something a language versus a dialect is largely political so I went based off of my judgments.
I chose to call Snow Elvish, Snow Elvish over Falmeris because Gelebor prefers to be called a Snow Elf :)
@uesp I'd love to hear your thoughts! Particularly on the dialects! (Also Tumblr killed the image quality so DM me if you want to see the clearer image)
