Elvish

Elvish is not the only language spoken in Zirconya but it is the one used most throughout the Zirconya series and inherently most important. The entire language is not yet finished but as I work, more translations will be added here and soon a dictionary for the language of Lançir - or, the language of shadows, spoken by Sinstarians, goblins and other evil creatures - will also be added. Let us begin!

First, know this:
A makes the "ah" sound.
ç makes the throaty, gargling sound like some Hebrew words.
dh makes the "th" sound.
R's are rolled.
í sounds like "i" (eye)
I and i sounds like a long E. (knee, tea, sea, etc)
Ä makes the uh sound.
