Common Xorian
This is the standard xorian
speech used in verbal and telepathic communication. It is used often when telepathy will
not work (Drellis Dominant) or when speaking to non-telepaths (through a magical
translator, for instance).
Warspeak
Similar to the Ogrish Battle Tongue, this is a clipped, rapid
fire form of speech used in combat. It has a very simple sentence structure. It is used
both verbally and telepathically.
Xorrian is linguistically unique. It is a booming language which sounds like rolling thunder. It is almost a roar shaped by consonants. It is difficult for other humanoid races to speak it, but possible. Linguists and scholars believe that Xorians must have developed this language before they developed their telepathic network, else a language would not have been necessary.
Xorian is similar to ogrish in style. Simple, blunt characters without serif or decoration, bold strokes and easy to recognize forms.
