Apysaic (Ap.) was a group of closely related languages or tribal dialects which were spoken in the Second Age all over Haradwaith. The Northern Apysan dialects developed into the Haruze language, while the southern Apysans, divided from their northern kinsmen by the Great Desert, developed a group of dialects known as New Apysan which eventually evolved into a lingua franca, the common speech of Far Harad and parts of the Utter South along with Ansith. The earliest form of written Apysaic was Old Apysan, which was spoken in the late Second and early Third Ages.
