Oh boy, if you made it all the way down here, maybe you're looking for this Patreon link? I won't tell if you won't: / theloretour .

Two fun facts I discovered whilst researching this one:
1. Kelish (the language) has nothing to do with the Kellids (the people). Despite the similar spellings and pronunciations, the two are unrelated.
2. Osiriani is also officially considered an uncommon language, but in this instance I disagree. It is the most widely spoken language in Garund, doubtless preferred by many in the southern Inner Sea to Taldane, and must have at least as many speakers as, say, Halfling. I think GMs wouldn’t go astray by making it Common.

The Guide merely likes his privacy. I'm fairly sure he's still mortal. (Though with wizards, things can get blurry.)

[@Sjaddix]

Very useful 😊

[@gygolos4700]

Languages is one of my favorite topics when concerning fantasy worlds. One of your best videos yet! Thumbs up.

[@Archangelm127]

I am looking forward to your inevitable lectures on the various Planes more than any other subject. ❤

[@theloretour]

I can't wait to be able to discuss the planes in more detail!

[@thetoweroftomes]

Great video, Sir Guide! This video is very useful as a DM! Amazing content as always!

[@GamezFanatik]

Excellent presentation of your content. Choice of background music, art, your voice style, enunciation, clarity of your audio. Very professional. I prefer your lore presentations above all the other channels that I subscribe to. Eagerly awaiting your next video.

Dosen't the Mawangi expanse have its own language?

[@theloretour]

The Mwangi Expanse has a trade-tongue called Polyglot (or sometimes just "Mwangi"). It is a fusion of dozens of the dialects and local languages of the people who live there. It did not make the list because of its unique status as a trading language not typically used outside a commercial context. Well worth considering though for a budding Mwangi trader!
