Halfspeech

Halfspeech is a light and pleasant language that sounds like the Common tongue to many casual listeners though is quite indecipherable except to those who already know it. Halfspeech is primarily spoken by Halflings and sounds to be a more parochial form of Common removing syllables from words and merging many together to make single compressed words. The language does however possess several intentional ciphers within it that make learning the language difficult to outsiders.
Halfspeech uses the Common script and a large amount of apostrophes in its written form to denote the fusion of words. Halfspeech is however rarely written except for family recipes or secrets to be kept away from other folk. Any message not needing privacy is instead written in Common itself.
