    Human Common

    Common has become prevalent due to the staggering percentage of the world’s population being comprised of humans and human descendents. As it became evident that Humans would always be the dominant culture, if only by sheer scale of numbers, it became necessary for anyone who wanted to be a part of the larger picture to learn their tongue. Its original name has been lost to time after it was renamed “Common” to suit its universal nature.
