The good news is: there really are manuscripts in the Dali Country language.
The bad news is: this is the ancient language of Dali Country, which is quite different from the language Lin An had learned.
It can't even be called the ancient language of Dali Country, but rather the language of an empire that existed before Dali Country—the Lin Gua language.
Lin An checked his phone and found that this ancient empire didn't have a term 'Lin Gua language'; it wasn't systematic. It was only during the modern Renaissance that it was organized and categorized, even divided into two types.
One was the noble language used by the religious, poets, and literary writers, and the other was the secular language common among the people, imbued with national culture.
Both had significant differences in grammatical structure and etymology.
