Regional Specfic

Being separated by storm wracked oceans and isolated from one another, each continent has its own common tongue.

Regional Specific

Undercommon is the common tongue of the local Underdark region. Like the common tongues, undercommon tongues vary across regions.

Giant

The language spoken by the Dwarven peoples, having evolved from the Giant tongue. Regions have their own dialects, but they are often similar enough to be understood.

Sylvan

The language spoken by the Elven peoples, having evolved from Sylvan. Regions have their own dialects, but they are often similar enough to be understood.

Gnomish

The language spoken by Gnomes. While most languages on En evolved from other languages, the earliest deep gnomes created their own language, and later taught it to the forest and rock gnome cousins. Most Gnomish dialects are similar enough to be understood across regions.

Sylvan

The language spoken by the Goblinoids, it carries traces of its Sylvan heritage but is easily distinguished from Elven. Because goblins are one of the shorter-lived races, the Goblinoid language of one region may be completely different from the language of a different region.

Gnomish

The language spoken by Halflings, it carries elements of the Sylvan language Hestia initially taught to her children, as well as the Gnomish language which the Halflings learned from their Gnome friends. Most Halfling dialects are similiar enough to be understood across regions.

Sylvan

The language of the Orcs. While it is evolved from the Dark'ken dialect of Sylvan, Orcish is far less elegant and far more focused on battle. Because Orcs are one of the shorter-lived races, the Goblinoid language of one region may be completely different from the language of a different region.

The languages of creatures from The Far Realms use in order to communicate within The Universe, which seems incapable of supporting their native tongue(s).

The language born out of The Astral Sea. Its written form was created by the Giants, and is a simplified form of the Giant's script. Some believe spells cast in this tongue are more powerful.

The language of the Giants. The language's written form is extremely complex, in order to ensure detailed records of crafting techniques could be accurately kept, and was the basis for runic notation.

The language of Dragons and the Dragonborn, having evolved from the Astralectic tongue. The language is highly focused on the spoken form and precise pronunciation, with the slightest alteration of pronunciation or a single change to the form of a world completely altering meaning.

The common tongue of The Outer Planes.

The language of Oblivion, Faded is the language of newborn blessings and death rites. Those devoted to the deities of The Oblivious Pantheon often learn this language to become better acquainted with the forces of life and death.

The language of The Hells. It is filled with technical terms and resembles what one might find in a law book. Those who know this tongue are often looked upon with suspicion, as it is only those who wish to deal with devils who have need of it.

The language of The Ethereal Plane, Ether is a faint tongue of loss and passing, its words easy to miss and quickly forgotten. For this quality, it is often used as the tongue of secret keepers.

The common tongue of The Elemental Planes. While the vocabulary and structure of sentences is comparable across dialects, how sounds are created varies wildly, from the whistling of air elementals to the gurgling of oozes. Ignan, the dialect of The Plane of Fire, is sometimes considered the diplomats tongue for its association with Ember, and commonly used as a cross-continental common tongue.

The language of The Feywild and Shadowfell, this language is also commonly used as a cross-continental common tongue. It is easier to learn than Primordial, with its pronunciations made for humanoid-like anatomy, and is sometimes considered more useful than Primordial.
