The elves of Avlis were created by a god named [[Dru'El]]. In his mortal life, he was a human who got instructions from the elven god Corellon Larethian on how to make elves when he became a god.
The fey of Avlis not created by [[O'Ma]] were created by a goddess named [[Titania]].  
 
 
Dru'El was fascinated by the spirit population that used to inhabit Avlis before the time of the gods. Unfortunately, most (almost all) of them were wiped out in the battle between the nine gods and the evil Negerai invader god which nearly destroyed Avlis in the beginning. The population of spirits was low to begin with because even before the major deities ascended to godhood, the Negerai had gated in hoards of Tanar'ri which began to EAT the spirits.
 
 
Still, Dru'El wanted the language of his elven people to be the same language that was once spoken by the benevolent nature spirits that inhabited the world. He made due with whatever fragments could be found and filled in the rest himself. Thus, the elven language on Avlis today is a derivative of the spirit language and therefore differs greatly from elven languages on other worlds such as Krynn or Toril or Middle Earth.
 
 
The word the spirits used to describe themselves as a whole was ''"Nanshae"'' (pronounced: non-SHAY). Later over time, the elves adopted this word to describe the elven species as a whole, but it was spelled Nanshi and pronounced ''"NON-shee"''. However, the elves in the Northern part of the country still use the old pronunciation of ''"non-SHAY"''.
 
 
Apostrope's in the Avlissian elven language are often used to denote the word "of", much like slang English will use o', as in "pile o' stuff". Except in elven it's proper usage. The Avlissian elven word for land is Tana (TA-na) and the early elven name for their nation was Tan' Nanshi, later shortened to T'Nanshi, or "Land of the Elves".
 
 
===Interesting note about Drangonari Elves:===
 
The drangonari elves were a creation by the god Angadar. When he ascended to godhood, he immediately got the lofty idea to create a race of his own, and taking the form of one of his enemies, an avariel (winged) elf, Angadar corrupted the form into the drangonari. They are almost identical to the avariel in stature and build, and they even once had leathery wings in place of the angelic wings of the avariel. Also in place of soft white skin they have dark green scales much like a lizard, and they always have black hair.


Through an unknown and disasterous series of events, 99.99% of all drangonari lost their wings, and the ones born today do not have them at all. Few remaining ones do, and they are considered to be direct descendants of Angadar himself, whom the drangonari all revere, even if they don't openly worship him.
Angadar was once a mortal elf born on Toril, which is the planet of the Forgotten Realms setting. The elven language which HE speaks IS the Forgotten Realms elven language, and that is the language which he taught to his creations.
So on Avlis, the old elven language that is seen in so many other campaign worlds is actually the spoken language of the drangonari! So, you may want to watch what language you speak in front of the Avlissian high elves!

English Sylvan And O Or I To Y From Ye But Ka Not U For He Over Vel Under Vol More No Less Nu In Pe Out Po High Vele Low Volo On Ver Off Vur Of Var Re- Je- The -s (added to the end of the word)

Pronouns

English Sylvan I (me) Me (Be) You Ma (Ba) She (her) Fea (Bea) He (him) Fena (Bena) It Voa (Boa)

We (us) Mea (?) You Mab They (f) Feab They (m) Fenab


Possessive My (Mine) Mel (Bel) Your (Yours) Mal (Bal) Her (Hers) Feal (Beal) His (His) Fenal (Benal) Its Voal (Boal)

Our (Ours) Meal (?) Your (Yours) Mabel (Babel) Theirs (f) Feabel (Beabel) Theirs (m) Fenabel (Benabel)

Examples: "My tree" would be "Mel mi" "The tree is mine" would be "Mis feli bel"

Questionary words (words you use in questions) Who Ge What Goo Where Gav When Gal Why Gle How Gef

To ask a question without using a question-word, like "Do you dance?", you merely exchange the first letter of the verb into a "G". So the above question would be "Ma Gilu?", which is basically "You dance?"

Verbs Most of the verbs are regular and follow a set pattern. To change the verb to another time, merely add the correct wowel to the end of the word. It's pretty easy, just watch:

Examples: To Be Fel Is FelI Was FelO Has Been FelU Will Be FelA Being FelIR

To Have Miril Has MirilI Had MirilO Have Had MirilU Will Have MirilA Having MirilIR

Plurality Sylvan has a bit more complex plurality rules than English. While English has singular and plural forms, Sylvan has singular, dual and plural. Which means that you have separate versions of "A tree", "Two trees" and "Many trees".

Singular: As written. "A tree" is merely "Mi", as listed in the dictionary.

Dual: A "-p" is added to the end of the word. "A petal" is "Sei", while "Two petals" becomes "Seip". If the word ends in "p", you add "-ip" instrad. This is also the case if the last two letters are already consonants.

Plural:A "-b" is added to the end of the word. "Trees" becomes "Mib". If the word ends on a "b", you add "-ib" instead. This is also the case if the last two letters are already consonants.

Numbers The fey numeric system is based not upon ten, like ours is, but upon five. This means that they count like this: One, two, three, four, five, eleven, twelwe, thirteen, fourteen, etc, so what they call 'eleven' equals what we call six.

The naming system for the numbers is very simple. The numbers one to five have names. The next five numbers have the same names but with a prefix. This prefix changes each five numbers, just like we go from 'twenty' to 'thirty' to 'forty' every ten numbers. Clumsily explained, but perhaps it gets easier to understand by looking at the list:

1 Mimo 2 Mimeb 3 Sesa 4 Sesob 5 Seib 6 NeMimo 7 NeMimob 8 NeSesa 9 NeSesob 10 NeSeib 11 NaMimo 16 NoMimo 21 VeMimo 26 VoMimo 31 LeMimo 36 LoMimo 41 LuMimo 46 LaMimo

Sylvan English Faele Searal Good morning

Veli'ir po o siluelves usilu It's sunny outside and the rain's stopped

Gav ma siluir? Where are you going?

Mirali be elas i me miralkut ba! Give me the food or I'll kill you!

Me sileir! I'm having fun!

Me u mirili sielvor'var'Vekut. I don't have a computer.

Fena miralo be minseis! He gave me the finger!

Mel yal feli Kiira My name is Kiira

Me mirili NoMimo leleb I'm sixteen years old

Ma miralkuto bena ma silumni! You killed him you bastard!

Jemirili re mel volieb Give me back my undies

Ge milyro ba? Who invited you?

Giril ma no sileel? Do you have any more wine?

Ysili Uvonkel! Re feli Feler! Step aside! I’m Queen!

Galni ma Sylvani? Do you speak Sylvan?

Ho, me usieli. No, I don’t.


SONGS And here we have some songs which are often sung by the fey, complete with translations. Enjoy.

Salifes var Fae Silyri y rea, silyri y rea, y silur, sile o selui. Silyri silui neal rea, silyri silui neal rea, mea silu y kutae var silualbe.

The song of Life Come to us, come to us, to dancing, fun and song. Come dance with us, come dance with us, to dance to end of time.


Salif var Marivuki'ir Ysili uvonkel! Ysili uvonkel! Jesilyr y vo o voel, volo silumni! Ma usilui neal rea! Ma usali neal rea! Mea marivuki ma saliysuli!

Song of rejection Go away! Go away! Return to earth and mud, low animal! You do not (cannot) dance with us! You do not dance with us! We reject you forever!
