Ivashi Language in Misty Isle of Harn | World Anvil

Ivashi

Ivashi is a divine language created by the God Ilvir for his monstrous children. Most Ivashu can speak, and those that can’t or have limited intelligence can understand it.

To humans the language is a chaotic mixture of spoken words punctuated by clicks, humming, gasping, whistling and another vocalisation. It can be spoken by humans but never expertly and occasionally some information is lost.
