[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1315235, member: 63"] You make a good point. I, as a result of having a linguist in my game, have recently made a clear shift to make language important. This is the list that's at the end of that player's character sheet. She speaks all of these languages. There's no such thing as 'Common.' And I make the players travel all over the world on their adventures, so languages are very important. Ancient texts are a great thing. • Tennae. One of your native languages, the primary language of Tennas, your homeland. • Seren. The ancient language spoken in the Seren Empire, the same area where Tennas is now. • Hereth. Ancient language of Orcish tribes, still spoken in Nau-Hereth. • Ragesian. The ancient language of the Ragesian Empire, which controlled the world three thousand years ago, closely related to Seren and Hereth. Still spoken in Sindaire. • Dorisian. Seafarer’s language of Dorisia and Crescenta. Distantly related to Hereth and Gresian. • Gresian. Language of the animist Gresian culture along the Stormchaser Coast. • Kelaquois. Language of the Kequalak Empire and the tundra. • Jenelesti. Ancient Elvish language, root of modern Elvish tongues. • Shahalesti and Taranesti. Ancient tongues of the light and dark Elves. Taranesti is still spoken by dark Elves today, with slight changes. • Innenlesti, Kohalesti, Tundanesti, Vaneljesti. Modern light Elf tongues. • Cavalesh. Primary language of the southern continent, spoken in Caval, Seaquen, and Sempas. Most commonly used language of traders and sailors. • Elstrician. Language of Elstrice, related to Cavalesh. • Dasseni. Dead language, related to Cavalesh, formerly spoken in Nozama. • Jipsin. Highly mutable language of the Gnomes. Tends to use lots of foreign words, depending on the area. • Lyceian. Language of Nozama. Primary scholar’s language. • Goblin. A mish-mash of related languages used by Goblins. • Xaopin. Dead language formerly spoken in Sempas and at Yen-Ching. • Aechan*. Language of the avian Aechan. • Geidon*. Language of the Minotaurs. • Wyrmish*. Language of dragons, hard to pronounce. • Infernal* and Celestial*. Believed to be the languages of demons and angels, these languages are commonly learned by wizards who summon extraplanar creatures. • Ignan*, Nereiden*, Peccish*, Sylphan*. Believed to be the languages of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air elementals, commonly learned by mages who study elemental magic. [/QUOTE]
