Languages and Lexicons of the Forgotten Realms

A collection of Realms words, phrases, and sayings, as well as languages and etymology.

Every lexicon is like a puzzle. Each piece of the puzzle is a word or phrase relevant to the lexicon. When completed, one is left with a picture. And like all pictures the image is merely a slice of time. As such the words and phrases in this lexicon are current as of 1491 DR.

Because the usage of certain terms waxes and wanes over time, and because many words are used in one part of the Realms but not others, the entries for a given term will, if possible, indicate what region it is used in, whether it is rising or declining in usage, and how usage of the word or phrase has traveled over time across the continent of Faerûn.
