Hi all,

Been looking through Drow language and wondering: Is there a real pattern to it or is it just x-number of letters thrown together with quotations here and there? I would like to use a bit but am wondering if there are any speach rules that experienced players would barf at if they see gobbly-gook instead of REAL Drow language.

They say the world is going to Hell.

They are wrong.

The world IS Hell! Always has been, always will be; except perhaps for the five percent or so of the population who can afford differently.

And, if one must reside in Hell, it is far better to do it as a minion of the Devil than as a member of the damned.

In other words, yes, it is an actual language. There are various sourcebooks on it. ^_^

Yes it is. Here is a pretty good translator.

I have seen several Drow dictionaries over the course of time too.

Thank you for your time and the link!

The only languages *I* can speak fluently are English and Canadian, though I can get by in British in a pinch.

I AM however fluent in bullsh*t. :whistling:

Thanks!

I can speak some Drow. But certainly not much. I'm trying to learn it and Elven.

Okay not really bet a few key phrases might work well perhaps.
