Primordial

Primordial is an ancient and elemental language spoken by beings tied to the raw forces of nature, such as elementals and primordial titans. It is believed to be one of the oldest languages, predating most mortal tongues and serving as the foundation for several other languages, including Abyssal and Aquan.
Primordial has a fluid yet powerful quality, often described as resembling the sounds of the natural world—rumbling earthquakes, rushing water, crackling flames, and howling winds. It is as much felt as it is heard, with vibrations and tones often carrying meaning beyond the words themselves.
Grammatically, Primordial is straightforward and declarative, focusing on conveying raw intent rather than subtlety or abstraction. It lacks articles and complex tenses, relying instead on context and tone to clarify meaning. Its vocabulary is deeply rooted in concepts tied to nature, energy, and creation, making it especially suited for describing physical forces and elemental phenomena.
The written form of Primordial consists of runic symbols etched in angular, flowing patterns meant to mimic the movement of natural forces. These symbols can be carved into stone, burned into wood, or traced in sand, reflecting the elements they represent. Some scripts also carry latent magical energy, capable of resonating with elemental forces when properly invoked.
Primordial serves as the basis for several dialects, including Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran, each adapted to the specific element it represents. Despite these variations, speakers of the dialects can generally understand one another, as the core structure and intent of the language remain consistent.
Primordial is more than just a means of communication; it embodies the elemental forces that shape the world, making it a language of power, creation, and destruction.
