Maurit, rarely and incorrectly Mauretian, is a Romantish language found in southwestern Uletha. It is spoken in and the official language of Mauretia. Maurit evolved from a regional Vulgar Romantish that was highly influenced by the local cultures. As a result, Maurit has some notable distinctions from other Romantish languages.
