== Exotic Languages == These are less common languages that comprise much of the multiverse. === Arcane Cipher === Arcane Cipher, or just Cipher, is the formulaic language of magic users. The Cipher is used to write arcane scrolls and often appears more like a mathematical proof than a written document. The Cipher was created by spellcasters thousands of years ago and has passed through the Material Plane through, you guessed it, arcane means. === Abyssal === The language of demons. Abyssal sounds like a constant fire roaring from the belly. Abyssal creatures usually sound like they’re shouting. Abyssal is written in Infernal script, which is a highly regimented script created by devils and utterly ruined by demons, when they choose to use it. === Celestial === The language of celestial creatures and gods. Celestial is often called the “first language” even though Primordial precedes it by a very long time. Celestial is a surprisingly simple language, very fluid and easy to speak once you become fluent. Celestial always has a singing quality to it. The script, also Celestial, consists of kanji like characters that glitter when written correctly. === Draconic === The language of dragons and sar. Draconic speech is low and rumbly, like giant, but dragons are haughty folk and like to speak loudly and from the diaphragm. The draconic script is rune-based, but created originally by claw scratches. Thus the script written looks like this too. === Deep Speech === The language of aberrations. Deep Speech is incredibly difficult to learn as it sounds like nothing one can comprehend. It also has no defined script, as it is impossible to transcribe without losing a lot of the meaning. === Infernal === The language of devils. Infernal sounds a lot like a deeper version of Afrikaans. It’s very listenable but has a dark tint. Devils have, of course, codified their language to the nth degree, as it is necessary for the creation of contracts. Infernal, of course, uses the Infernal script. === Primordial === The language of the primordials. Separated into elemental dialects: Aquan, Auran, Terran, and Ignan. Also the language spoken by the titans. It is simple like Celestial, but is longer and more eloquent. The dialects also sound similar to the type of element: Auran, for example, sounds airy and light. Primordial is written using Dwarvish. === Sylvan === The language of fey creatures. Sylvan is a precursor to elven and has similar sounds, though without the trills and Welshyness of it. It is usually written in Elvish script. === True Speech === True Speech is more a philosophical concept regarding the True Name of all things. There is no known creator of True Speech; rather the True Name of things is considered a fundamental aspect of creation. Thus, even deities have a True Name which can be used to manipulate them. Thankfully, True Names are nearly impossible to discover by anyone except the most powerful and highly trained of wizards. === Undercommon === The language of the Underdark. Similarly cobbled together from bits of Dwarvish, Primordial (specifically Terran) and even some Deep Speech, mixed with a general Underdark patoir from a language long extinct. It is written using Elvish, thanks to the drow. [[Category:Things]]
