My opinion is that the dialects would vary from clan to clan. And that between the clans might be used either common speech or a traders' dialect.
Families whose main source of livelihood is from the clans on their trade routes would naturally have picked up some of the clan dialects specific to each clan. That's the assumption I've been operating under.
