The fey of Avlis were created by a god named [[O'ma]]. In his mortal life, he was a human who got instructions from the fairy goddess Titania on how to make fey when he became a god.
The fey races of Avlis were created by a god named [[O'Ma]]. In his mortal life, he was a human who got instructions from the fairy goddess Titania on how to make fey races when he became a god.
 
 
Because the god [[Dru'El]] was fascinated by the spirit population that used to inhabit Avlis 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. Likewise, while it bears some lineage parallels to the fey languages it is quite distinct compared to other languages in the O'man Sylvan line.
 
 
The fey races spawned by O'ma and Titania have long been separated by the ideological differences between their two creator deities. O'man fey languages start with Sylvan. Just as Latin is the root of many European languages O'man sylvan is the root language of all O'man fey languages. Each O'man fey race will have its own language but it will bear a strong resemblance to this language similar to the way that French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese strongly resemble Latin. These major fey sub-races are: Brownie, Centaur, Dryad, Nixie, Nymph, Pixie, Satyr, Sprite and Sylph.
 
Similarly Titania has a line of languages which have progressed in a similar fashion although in many other game settings the elvish languages will be more exclusively influenced by Titanian Sylvan. O'man Sylvan is derived from Titanian Sylvan but bears little meaningful resemblance akin to how both German and Sanskrit are Indo-European languages but have little in common.
 
===Speakers of O'man Sylvan:===
 
Those beings able to speak O'man Sylvan would be Centaurs (as their primary language), Druids (as a second language well studied) and O'man fey races as appropriate for character background.

There is no distinction in sylvan between the gerund (-ing ending) form of a verb turned into a noun and its non gerund form. Thus, hope and hoping are both ..., and you must know the context of the sentence to figure out which is which.

I've based much of what I've done here on the page on Nanshilae because that is probably appropriate.  I've kind of de-hebrewed the nanshi here and added more suffixed vowels like -ay or -i to make it more sing-song on the assumption that the hebraic influence on nanshi is essentially the spirit language since the influence from Titania will probably be cobbled together from other works of fiction regarding Titania/Fey/Sylvan.  Also, there is a fair bit of Japanese and Spanish folded into the word list.  Finally I found a terse word list of actual "sylvan" so that is where everything else comes from.  Anyone is welcome to work on these of course.

Since this has been on the wiki for awhile and hasn't been improved or moved by anyone I've decided to start a language page out of this material. This is of course not team approved material yet and is very much a work in progress I figure the best use of this material given that its been around awhile is to lend it to the most played of the fey races on avlis, the O'man nymph.

Orleron wrote: O'Ma and Titania have different versions of sylvan, with O'Ma's version being derived from the same spirit language as elven, and thus related about as closely as Sanskrit and German, which are both Indo-European languages.

I really think that as a matter of phonetic style this small list of phrases is something exceptionally appropriate to aspire to emulating.
