# Skovic
|
|
|
|
|
Second is Skovic, the mother tongue of Skovlan across the sea. Many Skovlanders live in Duskwall and their clipped, direct speech can be heard wherever they’re found. The ancient name of the city comes from an old Skovic word, do’skov’ol, literally meaning “the Skov’s coal mine.”

# Hadrathi
|
|
|
|
|
Third, and most rare, is Hadrathi, an ancient tongue found in musty old tomes but still spoken among some people, particularly Iruvians. Many people favor its elaborate, scathing expletives.
