Grisnadal
The language that developed in the Ahiogrisnad community. The first people settled around the Ahiogris Mountains not long after the creation of the world. After about 300 years, their language had changed and was unrecognizable to outsiders. They had almost no contact with people from outside their community during this time.
Grisnadal has an emphasis on the collective. The language only has two genders, krethnil and zirch.
There are not many speakers because it is a small community. Priests did not have as much influence over the names of species, plants, and animals as in other parts of the world, so they have their own names for those.

Phonology
Repeated vowels (aa, ii, oo, uu) are separate syllables.
The stress is typically on the last or second to last syllable of a word. Unlike Grathlutut, suffixes can receive the stress.
Accents are used to indicate stress, they don't change the sound.
Morphology
A lot of words originate from Grathlutut. Many words for plants, animals, other species, and genders that aren't present in the Ahiogris Mountains fell out of use and no longer exist.
