Quiesy

Quiesy, more popularly known as Deadish, is the language of High Cromlech. It is spoken by both humans and Thanati.

Description

Quiesy is the principal language of High Cromlech. Since many of its speakers have either sewn-shut mouths or larynxes too decayed to form sounds properly, it consists of a series of coughing grunts, with "intricately timed pauses" that are as important as the spoken element. It can also be "spoken" entirely soundlessly, with gestures or eye movements.
