Elvish (language)

Elvish is what humans call the language of the elves, although the elves themselves call it XXXXXX and in truth some of its several dialects have diverged enough to be considered different languages in their own right (e.g. that of the Drow).
Elvish is written in a flowing and cursive script, in which each character is connected to those before and after it; there are special characters to mark the separations between words and whole sentences, so long passages may be written in a single extremely complex stroke. It may be written either left-to-right or right-to-left, or vertically using a different form of the alphabet with different rules for the connection of characters.
