Languages on Avlis have a direct scheme to them based on how or why they were created. To create a language on Avlis, you need to be familiar with this scheme and its use. Additionally, a lot of Avlissian languages use some real life languages as templates for grammar and words in order to make things easier for us.

There are 8 basic families for languages listed. (Some languages can belong to more than one family):

Spirit Languages - derived from original language of Avlis before the gods

• Elven
• Khanjar Kuro spirit races (i.e. spirit kin, etc.)
• Tyeduan tribal languages
• Sylvan languages (sylvan, fairy common, nymph, sprite, dryad, etc.)

Romini Languages

• Romini - modern
• Tyeduan tribal languages
• Common and its dialects (Kurathene, M'Chekian, Jechranian)
• Vasharan (which has a lot of Ta'Nari in it)

Dwarven Languages

• Deglosian (aka Gnomish)
• Galdosian (aka Dwarven)
• Kharakuro
• Korrobokuro (from Khanjar Kuro)

Orcish Languages

• Orcish

Malekite Languages

• Goblinoid languages

Serpentine Languages

• Shaahesk
• Kuo Tua
• Sahuagin
• Kobold
• Other aquatic and land reptiles

Toranite Languages

External Languages

The real life templates are:

• Sprit languages - Semitic grammar, Hebrew template.

• Romini languages - Indo-European grammar, Gypsie and English templates.

• Dwarven languages - Germanic grammar, German/Dutch templates.

• Orc languages - Should reflect some semitic grammar with a slight arabic template mixed in with klingon-sounding words, but it may not be in its current form on the server.

• Malekite, Serpentine, Toranite languages - No template or grammar as of yet, but some shaahesk and kobold have been written.

• External - Drangonari is straight Forgotten Realms Elven, Titanian has no template or Grammar at this time.
