Bird languages

Bird languages, the language of birds, avian languages or simply Avian were all terms for referring collectively to the various forms of communication practiced by mundane and magical birds.
==Description==
This included such things as cries, songs, and particular postures.
==Speakers==
Across the multiverse, there existed a wide array of creatures that could understand and speak in the languages of all birds. These included the achaierai of Acheron, avariels, avian lycanthropes, phoenixes, ratatosks, simpathetics, simurghs, and space owls. Couatls were fluent in most, though not all, avian languages.
==Languages==
;Eblis
: The eblis had their own language that consisted of various chirps, deep-throated hoots, and whistles. While demihumans and humans were incapable of speaking it, it was possible to be trained to understand the Eblis tongue.
;Giant Eagle
: The language of giant eagles. It was somewhat common as a secondary language among aarakocras, avariels, gold elves, lythari, moon elves, and wild elves.
;Raven
: Crows, ravens, giant ravens all shared a rather limited language. Other speakers of this language included ravenkin and wereravens.
==Appendix==
===Background===
It is stated on page 25 of A Grand Tour of the Realms, part of the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 2nd edition box-set, that any innate ability that enables "a deep, almost empathic level" of communication with other creatures should not be considered a language in its own right. Because of this, most creatures and individuals that were capable of speaking with birds due to magical means, such as an ability described as being like speak with animals, are excluded from this article.
