Supernal
Before SUPERNAL was "URSPEECH", the language of Natuer & The Weave which was about expression and communication at an almost chemical or psychic level.
As life began to have some level of cognition there was SUPERNAL and this is lost to all time it would seem. There are some "Words of Creation" that supposedly exist, these fragments which are known as SUPERNAL. This is the ultimate language for the most powerful of Gods.
When spoken it is a universal language and can be understood by any sentient mind, heard in their minds as if the words were in their own prime language.
The gods shared the SUPERNAL language with their servants, the angels, and devils spoke a version of it as well. Mortals were unable to learn the language completely, so the words of creation lacked power, and they were unable to use SUPERNAL to make themselves understood by those who spoke only other languages.
When the gods created the races of the world, each race heard the SUPERNAL language in a different way, based on fundamental characteristics of their nature. From those distinct ways of hearing, the foundational languages of the world arose—Common for humans and halflings, Elven for elves and Eladrin, Goblin for the Goblin races, Dwarven for the dwarves, and Draconic for dragons.
The Primordials had their own language with none of the special qualities of SUPERNAL. The titans and Giants adopted a debased version of this language for their own tongue, and Abyssal is a form of PRIMORDIAL warped and twisted by the evil at the heart of the Abyss.
