The people of Bavland are called Bavlanders by outsiders, though they refer to themselvsthemselves as Bav. Though still distinctly [[Vorin]], the Bav are a separate culture from that of the Veden, to the point of having their own language with several different dialects. One word from the Ironsway dialect of the Bav language is ''kurp'', a term for "child".{{book ref|sa1|i|3}}{{book ref|sa1|i|6}}
