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)

sometimes I like to imagine gameplay differences between oblivion and skyrim as regional habits.
like, mages in cyrodiil are usually taught to cast spells with their wrist/elbow as the main channel of arcane energy, which means they can cast spells with a weapon in their hand. or a cyrod alchemist might become flabbergasted by a northerner's complete lack of "on-the-go" alchemy equipment, as being able to make tonics and elixirs on the field is common practice in the heartlands.
meanwhile, skyrim's practices are shaped less by standardized techniques and more by tradition, the preference of the teacher, and superstition. like, a nord mage may know how to cast without directing magic directly through their hand/fingers but when asked about it, they'll tell you to do so is disrespectful. likewise, it's most common to make potions in advance at a proper alchemy table.
and yeah if the two were to meet they might get into a very heated debate about it.
brynjolf, about the dragonborn: i’ve only known them for a day and a half but if anything happened to them i’d kill everyone in riften and then myself.
