Al'shams A'Lox

The language of the mostly nomadic Loxodon people is one of the many offshoots of Al'shams language, featuring subtle tones created in their resonant nasal chambers to convey tone and detail in certain circumstances. When conversing with non-Loxodons, they tend to extrapolate in the common tongue, as these subtleties are lost on other races, while their vocal tones can come off as monotone and somewhat emotionless.

Geographical Distribution

Spoken most prominently in Filinor, the stationary Loxodon capital, though bits and pieces have found there way across Alshams Al'ard thanks to the nomadic nature of many Loxodon herds. It isn't incredibly far off the other languages of the region, though like them it has it's own intricacies.
