The Eshen language is language that originated in Eshein around 1673, when the Ingrans occupide Eshein's land from Mergany. In the new Ingran colony, "New Colsex", The Mergan speakers, Kalmish Speakers and Ingerish speakers lived together, what made them develop one language that everybody would understand. Its is very close to Ingerish and Kalmish. In 1690 this language got a name: "New Colsexish", and it was it's name untill 1806, when Eshein was founded, then it's name became "Eshen", as it is today.
Many believe that the Eshen language is a creole language and its parent languages are Ingerish and Klmish but since the language is spoken for over 300 years, it is no longer a creole language but a west Gaermanic language.
There are two main dialects for the Eshen language; Hauptland and Yll.
The differences between the two in visible in the sound of some letters, grammar and even sometimes having different words for the same thing.
For example, The word "Kingdom". In Hauptland it's spelled "Kunigæn" and in Yll it's spelled "Kunigryk", therefore there are two official names to the Kingdom of Eshane.

Hauptland Eshen
Hauptland Eshen (Ingerish:Mainland Ehsen) is a dialect of Ehsen that is closer to Kalmish than the Island dialect. The dialect is widely spoken nationwide and with very little differences between the pronunciation in Keswerg and in Atelfain. The main division of the dialect is northern accent, common in Keswerg, and southern accent, common in Atelfain. The northern accent is closer to the Ingerish accent and the southern is closer to the Kalmish accent while the vocabulary and grammar are similar.
Yll Eshen
Yll Eshen (Ingerish: Island Eshen) is a dialect of Eshen that is closer to Ingerish than the Mainland dialect. It is mostly spoken in the Diu Ylln krayk. This dialect was influenced by [[High Astrasian]] because of a big Utterlandese migration in the late 1870s caused by Queen Leah's marriage to a Utterlandman. From the fear of clashing cultures, they were resided in Diu Ylln. This influence is perfectly showing in the second official name of Eshein, Kunigryk av Eshein, with the 'yk' suffix ('ijk' in High Astrasian) instead of the Kalmish 'eich' suffix like in "Königreich".
