| + | ==== The Cadwë language ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Cadwë is a language that perfectly refl ects the nature of the | ||
| + | City of Th ieves. Based on the jargon of the Dogs of War and | ||
| + | Akkylannian grammar (which is especially easy to learn), it is | ||
| + | now a potpourri of various infl uences. Barhan, Akkylannian | ||
| + | and Syhar are the tongues that infl uence most Cadwë. Other | ||
| + | sources have durably aff ected this language: many technical | ||
| + | terms come from the dwarven language of Gheim and goblin | ||
| + | navigation terms. Ogre insults are surely the most commonly | ||
| + | used and widely preferred. | ||
| + | Cadwë is thus a language that is rich in multilingual references, | ||
| + | in neologisms, and in original sayings. Under perpetual | ||
| + | construction, it absorbs all cultures and tends to spread all | ||
| + | over Aarklash. Th e language used in the upper city is nevertheless | ||
| + | more structured and less changing. It is based mainly | ||
| + | on the languages of the four embassies (Alahan, Akkylannie, | ||
| + | Syharhalna and No-Dan-Kar). Th e use of Cynwäll terms, however, | ||
| + | is always impressive! | ||
