Terminian is a Ngerupic language mainly spoken in northwest Ekuosia and southeast Akulanen. It is the most widely spoken language in Cerman and Amerhan, and is an official language in several other countries, including Bosato and Arawahl. Terminian has the most speakers of any language in the Ngerupic language family, and also has a large amount of L2 speakers due to the historically large influence of the Terminian Empire. It is one of the 22 official languages of the Ekuosian Union.

Due to the limited intelligibility between certain varieties of Terminian, as well as the lack of an undisputed, scientific difference between a "dialect" and a "language", some Terminian varieties (e.g. Proper Amerhani or Utoyan) are alternatively referred to as "languages" and "dialects".
