4/14/05 – Combined Lists into table format and added a few saying. – by Velcrow.

Dyrlings like all of the races speak common, however there are many Elven, French and Gaelic words in their common speech. Dyrling speech tends to be a more fluid accent letting words flow into each other during speech. Rare is it to hear a Dyrling speak in a harsh tone or to chop at his words. The language includes its fair share of cursing, though it is not often heard since Dyrlings tend to have easygoing personalities. Many Dyrling curses used are much lighter blows then those of the Valgarins.

The northern commoners are more likely to use Gaelic due to being bordered by the Valgarins, the city nobility is likely to use French, which the woodsmen and druids more likely to use some Elven inflections and speech. Most Dyrling expression consists of softer words that roll into each other more like a song then directly spoken conversation.
