It has an alphabetic writing system. | High-Speech is the language of the few Fiends and Celestials of the world, collectively known as Highlings.

Ìqáalìe is the language of the Ìqáalìe, or Lizardfolk, and is full of glottal sounds, clicks, and is quite a tonal language, carrying meaning based on how a word is said. This allows the language to convey a massive amount of meaning in just a few words. Additionally, because of this, Ìqáalìe is a completely oral language with no writing system, but the Ìqáalìe have a rich bardic, musical, and oral history and tradition. | |||
