Probably a leftover from early designs.
Either that, or it's actually the ancient language, which the shades of Amaurot do not imitate it correctly.
It also could be an accent of the ancient language because languages change throughout the years and ascians have been around for 12k years so it's kind of possible they adapted new terms and some words from newer languages until they got a distinct accent that doesn't sound like what the Amaruotian shades say but are considered the same language.
