Rahan and Tarzan bring up a problem for linguistics in say 30.000 BC which Conan and Lord of the Rings for their part have solved.
In Lord of the Rings, everyone speaks Westron because the continent is colonised from Numenor. In Conan everyone speaks whatever they speak because the continent is colonised from Atlanteans. Same idea actually. But not very absurd.
The absurd idea is one which comes into play for Tarzan and Rahan, where on general evolutionist lines the stone age is supposed to have been diverse small populations. I am not sure about Cave Bear series, I think they do include linguistic problems.
Can I name the trope:
If You Are Stone Age, You Speak Pal Ul Don?
Btw, how do I name a trope?
