Appendix 4
LanguagesThe language spoken by most of the characters in this story is Grosmerian. However some of the characters met speak other languages. The neighbouring lands of Erian and Perimor have their own languages as have the Horselords over the Western Mountains. Fero speaks his own language of Beridonese, but since there is no one else to speak it to, it does not figure in this narrative.
The elves speak their own language. It is a very beautiful, liquid language with no harsh sounds and many sibilants. Few who are not of elven heritage can speak it. Pronunciation is as follows:
ll sounds as ly, like the Spanish ll.
r is slightly rolled and rr strongly rolled.
b is pronounced softly as is d and g.
f is always unvoiced.
o is always 'oh' and u always 'you'.
j and k do not
