Эльфийский язык - один из языков с которыми встретится игрок. В игре язык используется для наименований вселенной, континентов, рек, эльфийских городов и поселений, эльфов, артефактов и гравюр. Однако, как и дварфийскому языку, ему не хватает определенных вещей для правильного разговора, таких как грамматика и личные местоимения.

Диакритическое значение

The Elvish language has two diacritics (◌̀ and ◌́) used on four vowels (e, i, o, and u). Its possible that this is just a simpler version of the Dwarven language's system, with just high and low pitch. It's also possible that the two diacritics represent short and overlong vowels, and no diacritic represents a long vowel.

It's interesting that A stands out as the one vowel with no diacritics, while in Dwarven it's the one with the most.
