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
