The Jaithan Language is one of the child tongues of the Kalaman Language. It is spoken in the Republic of Johaulia, principally in the Great Valley of Lord Vimal, sometimes called the Jaithan Highlands. It is considered the most prestigious child language from classical Kalaman. Jaithan is not a Gwenyan Language, but part of the family of Jathya-Dhumi Languages which includes the Shardanian Language.

Modern Jaithan differs from Kalaman in several ways, although the basic relationship is still apparent to most who have studied both languages. Modern Jaithan has simpler inflections and fewer forms. It also has an abundance of borrowed terms, especially from the Midretassene Language, which are not present in the classical Kalaman Language.
