Dialects

No trace of the languages of the races before the arrival of the Old Ones remain. The Old Ones themselves spoke what could be assumed to be an alien language, something that eventually morphed into the common tongue of the Eldar peoples. The origin of Mannish languages can be traced back to the Dawn Age, too.

## Mannish languages
