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)

Caption:
[Man 1: (singing) One last time. Did you just... flick my hand away from your hand? It just like registered like three seconds later. Why did you do that? You didn’t want the Hydrangeas to see? They’re homophobic ya know. That’s why they’re not blooming as well.
They’re spewing hate. So they’re not... blooming. That’s how that works by the way. If you spew hate you don’t bloom, as a human. So you can tell when someone’s unhappy and they’re causing pain to someone else, you’re just a flower who’s not blooming and you’re mad you’re not blooming.
But it’s because you’re mad at the other person. So just stop being mad at the other person and focus on your blooming. Focus. On. Your blooming! (laugh) They’re really not doing so well.
Man 2: And that’s because they’re homophobic?
Man 1: Or the soil.]
holy moly
