For example, the people of Yukumo Village use a version of Japanese dialect that is basic kanji, but upside. Another example is Pokke Village, which uses a variation of Yukumo Village's language. Though many of the civilizations have their own language, the Hunter's Guild is known to use English dialect for much of their work, such as allowing hunters to go on quests. Even some forms of Chinese are used the Monster Hunter world.

Though many languages are known in the world, some have been lost in history and replaced by a newer version of said one. For example, Akantor's name comes from older version of Pokke Village's language. Some other examples include Fatalis, Lao-Shan Lung, Barufaruku, and Shen Gaoren.

Uruki
Uruki are known to speak in yelps and chirps, but it is unknown if they can speak in other languages, outside of their own.

The language of the Wyverians is a very hard one to understand. Not much is really known about it, but it is believed to be the closest language to nature.

Ancient Civilization
