Crecanian is the main language of the Crescanian Confederacy, and is the largest language among all the Crescanian peoples, as the conquered species have been in the Confederacy long enough to start forgetting their own languages.

Crescanian, or Crescaniei as they call the language themselves, is spoke in a very simple manner. Unlike English for example, Crescanian most often uses the same word for every situation. This means that while English uses words as "I" and "Me" in different circumstances, Crescanian always use the word "Im", which is pronounced the way it is written and not to be mistaken for the English "I'm".

Crescanian also tends to spell words the same way they are pronounced. For example, the English word "Now" would be spelled "Naw" and "You" would be spelled "Ju".
