Culture
Major language groups and dialects
The original Marskanski is spoken all along the coast. People in the Hegemony of Fire and in the later Kingdom of the Phoenix have a dialect mixed with dwarfen words into it and have a more dwarfen pronounciation. From the Griffon mountain to the Stone Desert there are some Giant words mixed into it.
Morskanski has no common ground with the Sahuagin language as the slaves that spoke both made sure that their own language would not get polluted by the masters' one.
