For the Netherese survivors and descendents who created Halruaa, while Halruaan itself is a descendent tongue of both Netherese and Lorass... there still may be some who revere or retain parts of the older individual languages.

Netherese was the language of "Low Netheril," and is an ancestor of Halruuan. Loross was the language of "High Netheril" - the floating enclaves. Both used the Draconic script according to the FRCS.

-The people of Netheril spoke two languages: Loross and Netherese.
-Netherese, which was based in the Draconic script, was a precursor to Halruaan, and was spoken by the 'ordinary' citizens of the empire. Loross, which was also based in the Draconic script, was spoken by Netherese nobility, and upper statesmen.
-To make it simple, in layman's terms, Netherese was "Low Netherese", and Loross was "High Netherese". |
