Languages

## Feiven

Feiven are lanagues invented and used by Fey. Feiven languages all originate from **Seldruin**, and most use the **Espruar Alphabet**.

The following languages are languages of the Fey:

* **Seldruin** - The original language of the Fey. It was originally written in the Hamarfae alphabet, but later introduced the **Espruar Alphabet**. These days only a few only a few ancient Dragons and Titans remember the language, and Seldruin is considered to be a dead language. It is one of the direct ancestors of Common.
* **Sylvan** - The modern language of the fey in the Feywild Plane. It uses the Espruar alphabet.
* **Elven** - Commonly called **Elvish**, is the language of the Elves. It uses the Espruar alphabet. Due to Elven being one language spoken across Purapía, it can be a Lingua franca.
* **Avariel Sign Language** - A unique form of sign language based around aerial movement. Involving things such as flaps, stalls, and wind dips. It was a less subtle sign language than those of non-flying races, having been developed primarily for communication during flight.
* **Drowic** - Although not a 'Fey' Language, it is apart of the Fey Language family. It is the common native language of the drow and it's users sometimes use the Espruar alphabet.
	+ **Drow Sign Language** - A silent hand code originally made to communicate in the Underdark.
	+ **Undercommon** - A lingua franca in the Underdark related to Drowic and Common.

## Old Common (Ancients)

**Old Common**, more commonly refered to as **Ancients**, is an old language and one of the direct ancestors of Common.

There are four main types of Ancients:

* **Old Ancients** - The first from of Ancients, long forgotten.
* **Classical Ancients** - Classical Ancients was a standardised version of Old Ancients. It is the form of Ancients that introduced what is now called the **Ancients Alphabet**, and it was the most spoken langauge in Edivandic. This form is used by spellcasters when performing enchantments and incantations. Many claim that a spell cast in Ancients is more effective.
* **Popular Ancients** - A range of non-formal registers of Ancients spoken. Many languages evolved from this type of Ancients.It changed a lot over time with borrowings from neighbouring languages.
* **Ecclesiastical Ancients** - A form of Ancients by religious groups to become closer to their deity/deities. It has evolved to become a lingua franca in some nations. It includes words from Popilar Ancients, Classical Ancients, Terran, and Jotun. It is less stylized and rigid in form than any of the other Ancients.

Due to some countries using Ancients as an scholarly language it isn't considered 'dead'.

## Common

**Common** is the trade language of Ediaric and Divindi. Almost every sentient, civilized being speak a smattering of it, and most are fluent.

While most can not read or write the language, generally, the people of Ediaric and Divindi are able to converse with each other in this language. Common is little more than a trade language; that is, it is not useful for complicated topics. It is simple and not very expressive as a language.

It is an modernised mix of Seldruin and Popular Ancients, leaning more towards the Ancients, as it uses the **Ancients alphabet** when it is written (although that happens rarely).

## Plane Languages

Languages that come from the Elemental Planes:

* **Primordial** - The original Elemental language used by Elementals. All of the other Elemental languages are based off of Primordial. Jotun was a debased form of it.

* **Terran** - The common language of creatures from the land. When written, it uses the Dethek script. Terran is a rumbling language with deep tones that reverberate through the listener.

* **Auran** - The common language of the sky. Most species who fly know this language. Auran is a breathy, relaxed language that has been described as a slow exhaling of air. It is also known as Old Areish, as the modern Areish language is derived from it.

* **Aquan** - The common language of the Sea. Aquan is a flowing language full of subtleties of meaning. All sentient aquatic species speak Aquan.

* **Ignan** - The common language from the Volcanic biomes. Most species that are fire, volcanic or magma related know this language. Ignan is a language full of sharp clicks and hisses. It uses the Dwarven script.

Languages that come from the Outer Planes:

* **Abyssal** - A form of Primordial warped and twisted by the evil of the Abyss.

* **Celestial** - The language of Celestials. It was brought to Divindi through contact with folk from other planes. It is described as beautiful, yet alien in nature, since it developed among beings with thought patterns very unlike those of humanity. Clerics often take the time to learn it.

* **Jannti** - The language of the Genies, including the Djinn, Efreet, Marid, Dao, and Jann. Whether Jannti is a single tongue with several dialects or four different elemental tongues is a matter of some debate, though it is effectively a single language.
* **Infernal** - The language of the Fiends. Infernal was brought to Divindi through contact with beings from other planes. It is described as harsh and alien in nature, since it developed among beings with thought patterns very unlike those of humanity. Clerics often take the time to learn it.

## Ghukliak

**Ghukliak**, also known as the **Goblin Language**, is the language spoken by Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Bugbears. It originally used the Dethek script, but goblinoids now use the Ancients alphabet instead.

Draconic is one of the earliest languages influencing or creating the language of other races.

**Yipyak** is the language spoken by Kobolds. It is a variation of the Draconic language that sounds like the yapping of a dog.
