[QUOTE="Drowbane, post: 3694634, member: 23396"] My homebrew doesn't have Common, but it also doesn't have a language for every damn race/monster out there either. Notes~ Celestial (rare): celestials, demons, and devils (as the major types of outsider have a common origin). Draconic: kobolds, magi, nobles, scholars and well... dragons. Elemental (rare): elemental beings of all types. Fae: sylvan races Hin: halfling (its a FR term, yoinked) Insectile (rare): Thri-Kreen and other sentient bug-like races. Nord: dwarves, giants, some humans Various human tongues: most (but not all) of my human nations have thier own language. All language names subject to change. ~ My goal is to cut down on the ridiculous number of D&D languages, while still making language something to be considered. Any ideas on how to handle regional dialects? Considering how different American english and English have become... I'd say she probably isn't too far off. I too speak american (though I just call it english :p). We americans aren't the only ones butching english... ever heard English slang? Can't understand a damn thing they're saying... [/QUOTE]
