Telgesh

The ancient language of Magog's children. Each word has multiple definitions, many of them mutually exclusive. The contracts of devils are exclusively written in this language, specifically to confuse and confound the reader. In most of the civilized world, it is considered extremely dishonest to conduct any kind of business in Telgesh. On the other hand, the curses and insults of the language are quite renowned and frequently employed in areas where Tieflings can be found.
