Elfin Family of Languages

The Elfin family of languages includes:

• Ogham -- used by faeries, nixies and brownies.
  • developmental level -- 39
  • the trade tongue of the fae
  • the connection between magic and language is derived through Ogham (and, indirectly, the connection between magic and the periodic table)
• Cave Elvish -- used by cave elves (sometimes known as "pig dwarvish" although it has strong ties to the elfin family and very little connection to dwarvish)
  • developmental level -- 59
  • which means it has almost as many phonemes as Human Tongue?, but lacks much of the nuance possible in English with inflection

• High Sylvan -- used by the High Sidhe?
  • developmental level -- 82
  • which puts it a little more sophisticated (particularly in the subtle phonemes) than human (which is modeled on English)
