Anthologica Universe Atlas / Universes / Karmador / Elvish / Tree / Tropical Elvish / Tropical Language Notes
See overall Elvish document for grammar and vocabulary information.
If I were to create my own vocabulary and grammar, which is to say if I were to use this outside of D&D, the most frequently used sounds would be R/L/S/T/K/Y/W, U/I.
While initial and medial consonants must take a vowel, words may end in final N, or a vowel of course. Vowels can always stand alone. See phonology page for more information on sounds.
N may also precede other consonants.
The language is single-pronoun, single-gender.
Naming format is Adult + Child + Family.
Names are chosen based on the desired impression.
For the forest elves (including tropical), monogender means they don’t differentiate between genders, as it is viewed as irrelevant and generally no one’s business.
