Underdark Languages

These are not yet developed!

Planar Languages

The peoples from other dimensions and planes have their own languages which are part of a few different language groups. The languages of the planes are less divergent and most peoples simply speak a dialect of the same language as their ancient lords rarely change how they speak. So once one of these languages is learnt they generally can all communicate with each other. There are four known planar language groups.

Sylvan

Sylvan is spoken in the various regions of the Feywilds. There are many different languages, but they can all be understood by anyone who has learned any of them. All sylvan languages use the same writing system. The language is often used by Druids and characters connected to the Feywilds in the Material plane.

Anurakian. (Grung) A language spoken by the Anurakai. This language is in the sylvan language group.

Infernal

Infernal languages are dominant in the the planar regions of Acheron, the Nine Hells, Gehenna and Hades. These languages can appear in other regions in rare cases. All infernal languages use the same writing system simply called Infernal. Infernal is not spoken very often, as most devils can use telepathic communication. As a result there is also no commonly understood sign language.

Abyssal

Abyssal languages are dominant in the planar regions Hades, Carceri, the Abyss, Pandemonium and Limbo. These languages can appear in other regions in rare cases. All abyssal languages use the same segmented writing system which is called Abyssal. Abyssal is not spoken very often, as most demons can use telepathic communication. As a result there is also no commonly understood sign language.

Celestial languages are dominant in the planar regions of Mechanus, Arcadia, Mount Celestia, Bytopia, Elysium, the Beastlands, Arborea and Ysgard. These languages can appear in other regions in rare cases. All celestial languages use the same segmented writing system which is called Celestial.
