Languages

A list of the main languages of Terreth, the spoken language is listed then followed by its most common script.

* **Aarakocra-Runic**: Aarakocra is very similar to Auran and could be a branch off from it.
* **Abyssal-Barazhad:** Abyssal is said to be a warp and twisted version of Primordial
* **Celestial-Enochian:** Some creatures use Barazhad to write celestial instead. Celestial is mostly used by divine beings and angles, when such creatures speak to mortals they use a dialect that is divinely understood by all called Supernal.
* **Common-Terrian:** It is an easy to use language which can be taught quickly to almost any sentient creature. Elves had an adapted version written in Rellanic or sometimes Espruar. Different regions and continents have different dialects.
* **Deep Speech-Espruar:** Deep Speech doesn't have its own speech, but uses an adapted version of Espruar instead.
* **Draconic-Iokharic:** The language of the mighty dragons as well as commonly used for arcane notation for its simplicity.
* **Druidic-Druidic:** Forbidden to be taught to non-druids. Uses its own special script.
* **Dwarvish-Davek**: Davek, Dethek and Runic are sometimes referred to as the Rune Scripts. Dwarvish has many dialects, but with a little practice these can be understood well enough. If you know Dwarvish you can understand its Dialects well enough.
	+ **Riftspeak:** One of the older dialects spoken mainly by Gold Dwarves
	+ **Duergan:** A Dialect with the most change, spoken mainly by Shield Dwarves.
	+ **Authalan:** A simplified version of Riftspeak spoken by nomadic and wild Dwarves.
* **Elvish-Rellanic:** Sometimes called True Tongue, the main language of Elves, Eladrin, Drow and simular creatures. Some Elves also write in Espruar instead.
	+ **Seldruin-Hamarfae:** A dead version of Elvish which had a lot more formalities and used mainly by Elven High Magic. The language died do to the fact that it took a lot longer to convey even a simple sentence. It used the Hamarfae script which suffered the same issues as the language it was created for.
* **Giant-Dethek:** Is also called Jotun and has the widest range of dialects, ranging from giant tribes to ogre clans. While its script, Dethek is similar to Davek and Runic, the language is much closer to Common in nature.
* **Gnomish-Davek:** Gnomish, also known as Gnim, is a fine tuned language enabling academics, artistic creativity and engineering pursuits.
* **Goblin-Dethek:** Goblin originally used the Dethek language but many of its speakers have adapted the Terrian script instead.
* **Halfling-Terrian:** Halflings have a very adaptive language that shares a lot of ties with other languages, and uses the Terrian script. It might have used other scripts at different times, but due to halfings adaptive nature the simplicity of Terrian fit well with their spoken word. Halfling is sometimes called Luiren as well.
* **Infernal-Barazhad:** Infernal is a much more elegant version of Abysmal. Yet the two languages are quite different despite the common thread they do share.
* **Orc-Dethek**: Also called Orcish, it is similar to Giant but with a little more refinement and less diversity in its dialects.
* **Primordial-Runic**: Primordial is one of the older languages with less change. Spoken by the ancient elementals it had a wide range of difference depending on who spoke it. However it can be broken down into four main groups:
	+ **Aquan:** Spoken by water elementals, it uses a lot of subtleties to show meaning.
	+ **Auran:** Spoken by air elementals, its sometimes called Alzhedo.
	+ **Ignan:** Spoken by fire elementals, it uses sharp clicks and hisses.
	+ **Terran:** Spoken by earth elementals, many use the Dethek script instead as it fits the language better than Runic.

Giant and other languages were derived from Primordial and have adapted along the way. Primordial uses the Runic Script, an older Rune Language that Davek and Dethek were created from, but the two child scripts also would work for Primordial without much difficulty.

* **Quori-Quor:** A psychic inspired language that is not commonly found in Terreth.
* **Sylan-Espruar:** The language of the fey and also refereed to as Faerie.
* **Thieves Cant:** A hidden language that used hidden meanings, slags, and innuendos to convey message only those that spoke the language would understand. Thieves cant can be spoken in any language, but is best used in Common.
* **Undercommon-Rellanic:** Mostly a trade language similar in nature to common used by under-dwelling creatures. It uses the Elvish script, but many creatures also write in Espruar as well.
