if anyone knows the language of the drows, dragons, elves, dark latin, or the forgotten language email me with the entire language or post it here. It will be better to email me at Darkface9@yahoo.com

If you know a site where i can find it then that would be sufficent.


thank you in advanced for anyone of the language and you can ask me why i want them at the yahoo address. thanks.

The drow language is detailed in a 2nd edition Drow of the Underdark by Ed Greenwood.

Officially, in 3rd Edition, drow now use the Elven language (Rich Baker explained to me that the drow dialect does not require an additional language proficiency anymore: a surface elf could understand a drow elf conversation, just like an Englishman could understand an American. There are differences in the expressions they use, the pronunciation, but the language is the same. Same thing apply to other races...)

In addition the Grey Company has crafted a nice site with a translator. Either that or they merely host it.

It's here

I was going to post up a website that had a complete commom to drow dictionairy but it appears the site has closed down due to inactivity

However, I did save a copy of it from the net so can email it to people or post it somewhere here I suppose.
Let me know

Be well

Talwyn - I'm shocked! A fellow Chosen not aware of the sites perks? Disgraceful.

Here is a 'Drow' Translator that works: Chosen of Eilistraee translator

It's like normal latin, but wears a lot of black, reads maybe a bit too much Anne Rice, and likes to think it freaks you out, when in actuality you all chuckle about it whilst it goes to the bathroom to apply more black lipstick and eyeliner.

My first stab at realms fiction, here at candlekeep. Stop on by and tell me what you think.

Very amusing about the dark latin Capn Charlie, very drol.
