[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 5944656, member: 40413"] I kinda like the names jkason posted but I definitely see the point about ease of remembering the names by making them close to the region they come from, e.g. Ilseyan or Ilessian for Illi Esse. Pech are a good candidate for the Undercommon but their native language seems to be Terran. I don't have a problem with that; I think it actually works nicely. Another thing to think about, Horselords of the Pell is fully approved now and the Pell are a combination of refugees from Rhat'matanis and the Landadel Baronies (but way back in E'n's dark ages). This would realistically make their language a mix of High Landellian, Rhat'mani and the Inner Sea language antecedents. Since the Seithr Mountains seems to be the default homeland of the dwarves I don't think it would be unreasonable to have Dwarven be the regional language. Ha'Gruut would then be one of probably several unrelated tribal surface languages. Considering the background of Irthos it could be totally unrelated to anything else (like Basque). This would maintain that independence of language from Rorn and Rhat'matanis that Mowgli wanted for the nation. [/QUOTE]
