A question on languages

Post by Tristan_Durst » Tue Mar 15, 2005 11:13 am

I was just wondering what other races have special languages?

I found the notes on Elvish, Dwarvish, and Gnomish, but what about Halfling, Lizard, Lupinal, Dracon, Wemic, etc. etc. etc.

Thanks,

Tristan

Kobolds and Orcs also have languages - there should be an Avlis Language Pack available for download on the website that contains the .pdf files for these.

Note that with the exception of Elvish, which was developed by Orleron, the other languages were all developed by players.

PS - drangonari also have their own language, but it's just Faerun elvish (long story, look it up :) ), so it wasn't something independently developed for Avlis.

Hmm, I think I might be blind. I have looked all over the avlis site, and did a search for Language pack, and Language, and Avlis language but have not found anything.

A little help please. :oops:

Thanks,

Related question:

I recently made a half-nymph character. From what's written above it seems there is no fey language written out (and the best clue seems to be the various fey voicesets - pixies etc).

Is this correct? Thanks in advance.

Alright, I'll stick to emoting *quickly speaks in fey as she smiles, talking in a thankful tone* and such.

AFAIK, I believe Shaahesk is completely unpronouncable and consists mostly of contextual hisses, barks, etc. not utterable by human vocal chords...

In other words, no real language exists oocly. Most Shaahesk players get along by emoting.
