Not sure if anyone has already found this, but i thought it was pretty cool. Might be good to add some spice if you have a slave that knows a little Drow, or you want to play a Drow at some point.

I know that languages aren't supported and therefore this can't be used to 'fool' people or exclude them from a conversation, but i do think its great to have a little extra spice when writing letters, leaving notes or giving good ol' Drow insults :)

Great find

And as you say, we should use it to add "spice" and we have to remember and respect that not all drow / slave players may know drow-speak (Yet, at least).

Very nice. I enjoy using race-specific languages when I talk to people of my kin. I've never played a drow, though, but it might be very handy later on. Bookmarked.

*smiles*

i found that about 5 years ago when i used to be far more active in the BG2 clan that i was in *sighs as he rembers* ahhh good old [BD] any way i had completely forgotten about that untill now so i thank you,

and for my current charactor it will be VERY VERY handy :D

maybe im mistaken but i thought talking to people in race specific languages was frowned upon

In general I'm opposed to speaking in other languages when it is designed to confound/exclude those who don't know OOCly about them. I've seen it done well though, like when Lemonjello gave a prayer to Mask using an Enochian translation, but ICly said what it meant alongside the enochian jibberish that came out. It was cool.

Seen it.

Thank you for sharing!

But, personally, I'm not particularly fond of any use of language other than common in game, however it is presented, be it in <e> or as the actual language. I think an Elven greeting between Elves is fine if it's in actual Elven, as it's clear to everyone what you're saying, and quite IC, but I'd shy away from trying to hold conversations in another tongue.

But there are uses for languages, in ceremonies etc. but it's best to use language only to enrich the playing experience of others, rather than to limit it or exclude them!

no no the point has been missed.

i wouldent be using it to hold conversations but sometimes (mainly for insults or say for one of my charactors that common is a 3rd or 4th language it can be used untill they learn IC what something is eg,

*spots a glowing stone and points at it* what do you call that thing?

some one answers "beam stones"

*nods* we called em Stylad Khaliizi

thats the sort of spice it can be used for which is the sort of spice that i think its being refered to.

Well in that case, this site would fall under the correct thread. Seeing as goblin PCs are supported and goblins interact with the city in one way or another daily, I'll let you have a go with this goblin to common/vs...languages aren't supported entirely but have fun:
