What does it sound like? Do we have any examples in any of the literature? I seem to recall reading a book with a few sentences, but I'll be dipped if I can remember which? It may have been Dragonlance, I don't know. I think I remember a Centaur named Stonehoof. Any ideas, anybody? Homebrew, anything. |

I've always ruled that sylvan is a language of fizzeling, whooshing sounds that resemble wind in the forest's leaves. Sometimes I described low tonal sounds as like creaking wood or something. I just made up descriptions of sounds of nature fitting the tone and overall atmosphere of the situation…
It might be not that canon, but it's (at least in my opinion) cool and practical (since you don't need to learn vocabulary ;)).
The centaur dialect of sylvan might include the sounds of horses – or they speak greek, of course. :D |

I've conveniently assumed that centaurs speak Greek. |

I think the House of Serpents Trilogy had some centauers in it, but I don't remeber if it showed something of their language (I'm not even shure that I don't confuse the books here) |

You may find this short listing of sylvan language examples [including those of the centaurs] from official DRAGONLANCE material, somewhat useful.
