Primordial

Primordial is the primary language of Elemental beings.
Primordial is an ancient language and the root of languages including Dwarven and Giant. Much of ancient scripture is recorded in Primordial, as well as being frequently spoken by druids, elementalists and in some religious rites.
Primordial is also considered a language family, comprising the elemental languages of Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran. These dialects are sufficiently similar that creatures who understand one of those dialects can understand the others as well.
Aquan: Spoken by the natives of the Elemental Plane of Water, a flowing, subtle language filled with double meanings and hidden puns.
Auran: The native language of the Elemental Plane of Air, a breathy, leisurely tongue that sounds like a long, slow exhalation.
Ignan: The native language of most inhabitants of the Elemental Plane of Fire, a sharp, hissing and clicking language.
Terran: The native tongue of the Elemental Plane of Earth, a deep rumbling tongue that vibrates through the listener like a tremor.
