Mar 04, 2009 23:14:07 The FRPG lists many languages that are used. I have heard many others people mention that arent listed. What are the languages that are spoken? I want to have players go to a bazar and overhear a lot of differnet ones some that they might know and others that they might not but can identify with knowledge skills maybe.

Mar 05, 2009 9:16:57 The 2001 FRCS also lists Aglarondan, Alzhedo, Chessentan, Chultan, Dambrathan, Durpari, Halruaan, Illuskan, Lantanese, Midani, Mulhorandi, Nexalan, Rashemi, Serusan, Shaaranm Tashalan, Turmic, Uluik and Undercommon (= 4E Deep Speech?) for human-spoken tongues. Some of those are spoken in places eradicated in the 2008 setting, others were folded into the simplified 4E language scheme. Then there's drow and gnomish; the demihuman languages have dialects but they mostly haven't been named in print. The most extensive presentation of Realms languages and dialects is Tom Costa's article "Speaking in Tongues" in Dragon Annual #4.

I think there are relatively few places where you'd hear a real babel of tongues -- where's your bazaar situated?

Mar 06, 2009 12:05:03 No Chuchian? Han? Kuong? Laothan? Lidahan? What about Pazruki, Purang, and the eastern version of common - Tradespeak.

Those are the others from Ronin Challenge, minus T'u (which is just a dialect of Shou).

Bedine should also be listed, but it's probably just a badly-changed dialect of Midani (as Muhjuri should be).

And I realize you said "no way complete". :P
