They probably would speak a different language! But the homs almost all have very boring normal names and it's not fun to construct a conlang around that, hahahah.
This conlang also came into being as part of an AU fic project in which the two worlds reunited in a normal way so that both places now exist as continents in a shared world. The language barrier and subsequent studying of each other's languages plays a big role in the story, and I wanted an actual conlang to go with it, so I made high entia-ese the common language of the xb1-side. It breaks down a tad when you think about it too hard, but xb1's world always did so I'm not super concerned about it.
