Giant language

The giant language, called Jotun by those who speak it, is the ancient language of most giants. It is one of the oldest active languages. It is believed that the language shares some of its roots with Common and Thorass.
==History==
Giant is derived from the Primordial language.

==Notes==
A lot of the words of the Giant language come from the languages of Scandinavia. For example: "Alv" is the direct word for "elf" in Scandinavia as well as "det" with the exact same meaning. Translation is complicated by the loss of the Scandanavian letters "Å", "Ä", and "Ö"; some of them lose their meaning for automated translation and gain another.
