Elvish

The adopted language of those members of humanity that turned into the beings now called 'elves', Elvish is a combination of a few Asian languages, primarily Japanese, and aspects of both Mandarin and Phillipino.    Those who speak Elvish do it proudly and endeavor to teach it to the youth in order to make sure it continues to be used, grow, and evolve as a language.    Using it in public, however, especially in front of Wings, is liable to get someone beaten or worse. Icarus Energies and their subsidiaries find the Mutated Languages distasteful offshoots of 'true' languages, and lobby to keep them out of schools and away from the general tongue.
