Shioani

The ancient language of Dranlegoritha's children, now split into dozens of dialects based on race. Unfortunately, since the destruction of Dranlegoritha, animals and beasts can no longer speak this, their native language, without magical assistance. That being said, when so bolstered by a spell or blessing, they are quite fluent in Shioani (and extremely chatty). Shioani is written in ancient pictographs, rather than using a linguistic alphabet.
