Low Ulutim Languages

The **Low Ulutim** language family is a grouping of Ulou Languages spoken in lower latitudes than those of the High Ulutim language family. Unlike their High Ulutim cousins, these languages are spoken in a variety of Faerûnian locales as opposed to being restricted to the far north.

## Languages

The Low Ulutim languages are as follows:

* **Rengardt**, the dead language of the Rengarth and Angardt barbarian tribes that roamed the lands under High Netheril.
* **Narfelli**, the dead language of ancient Nars living in the Narfelli empire. It was heavily influenced by Abyssal.
* **Tarindt**, the dead language spoken by Tarinth barbarians who would one day become the D'tarig of living in the Anauroch Desert.
* **Andt**, the language of the Marsh Drover tribes of the Farsea Marshes.
* **Erakic**, the language of the Eraka people of The Ride, the descendants of the Rengarth. It is the linguistic successor to 'True Rengardt' dialect.
* **Tunlaric**, the language of the Tunlar barbarians of the Tunlands, the descendants of the Angarth. It is the linguistic successor of the Angardt dialect of the Rengardt language.
* **Naric**, the language of the modern Nars living in northern Faerûn.
* **Dambrathan**, a creole language of Old Illuskan and Narfelli, spoken in Southern Faerûn and in the nation of Dambrath.

## Script

Due to being a collection of dead ancient languages and varied living ones, the Low Ulutim language family has varied writing systems- though the most common trait to the family is an initial aversion to written language.

Tarindt lacked a script rejected the use of one, which ultimately led to their linguistic deaths. A trade pidgin of Tarinth and Low Netherese utilized the Iokharic script briefly, though it was only utilized by the Low Netherese. That strange pidgin language would later become the D'tarig tongue after heavy influence from Dethek.

Rengardt initially had no script at all, until some of its speakers began to practice magic and were ostracised from Rengarth society. These speakers created the Angardt dialect of the language, and later the script. Both linguistic dialects passed these traits to their descendants. While Tunlaric uses the Angardt script, the Erakic language still has no written script. This aversion of written language is not unique to speakers of 'True Rengardt' and Erakic, as it is also see speakers of Andt.

Narfelli, having been influenced by the language of demons, utilized the Abyssal script throughout the existance of Narfell. The Nars survived the fall of Narfell, would eventually begin to speak Naric and Damaran. Naric lost its Abyssal script, and though Damaran utilizes the script of the Dwarves, very few ethnic Nars utilize know how to write in Damaran.

Finally, Dambrathan adopted neither the Illuskan or Abyssal scripts of its parent languages, remaining scriptless for a time before Dambrathan speakers began to write using the Dethek script. This was not universal however, and over time, other speakers of the language have also begun to write in the Espruar script.
