The Solunanese Language (Solunanese: Solunaesmeur Gagrou) is the second-most spoken Azurian language in the world, with 14 million native speakers and 15 million overall in Fornoire alone.

Solunanese is related to Fornirian, and has been influenced by it despite its community being mainly isolated until recently, having some loanwords from the cousin language. Unlike Fornirian, however, it isn't a syllabaric language, with unseparated consonants being common. It has also changed less compared to Fornirian.

Solunanese survived the language purge in the Middle Ages, mostly because it was essential for the Kingdom to have stability in their region and the area being pro-Fornirian. Unlike Hokutan and even Fornirian, Solunanese never popularly used a Kana protest script, mostly because of the historic pro-monarchist sentiment and the fact that Kana would never work for Solunanese. In fact, it even adopted the Fornirian script, albeit modified to accomodate the ñ and ð sounds, which do not exist in Fornirian.

Many linguistic scholars believe that Fornirian had the a similar phonetic inventory as Solunanese, but lost a few phonemes over time. Solunanese didn't lose them because some of their most sacred terms and texts had classical words with these sounds, making them harder to get rid off. Their holy books have worked to be a conservative force keeping stability in the language, not allowing it to change much as Fornirian has, some experts believe.
