>>What's the IG lore for common? Where does it come from? Presumably if the Seven Star Empire had an official language, it was common.


An Imperial commission was created by the Seven Star Empire. Their sole purpose was to create what became known as Common in order to provide mutual understanding and economic benefits.

The name of "Common" presumably comes from "common tongue." I know nothing about if it was ever an official Imperial language.

>>Was it widespread before the empire?
Since it was an Imperial commission that created the language, I'd say no.
