Okay the other day I was assigned a report in language class and decided to do it over Avlis. Then with the help of everybody, especially Jo'd, I have decided to do it over the languages of Avlis. The only problem is that I do not know where to find any information on said topic so I hoped that maybe you guys could help me, and if not I appreciate it anyway.

Your best bet is the wiki, at this point:

Nanshilae isn't covered yet, but here's a thread on it:

Avlissian orcish is also somewhat developed. I have a guide from about a year ago, it may have been updated more since then. If you're interested in the orcish, PM me with contact information so I can email it to you.

I had already replied (and a triple post, which is no easy feat) before I noticed it was in Ask the Team and deleted them :p My answer was:

From Naieth's signature:

A -lot- of Elven words thanks to Nonscience

:) You can also look for elven words on Google (Tolkien's elven) which is the tongue the Drangonari speak, and elves from off-world :p
