Specter Speak
A language based on hundreds of years of attempted communication with specters, specter speak is a complex language spoken in small regions around planet Norrab.
Communicating with the paranormal has always been a popular activity around the Yonderverse, many successfully communicating with spirits of the dead.
Specter speak is not an example of this. It is a mess of various misguided beliefs, forged throughout history, with no actual evidence that this language communicates with specters.
Specter speak is spoken throughout central and southern Aridara. It is particularly prominent around populations in the Looming Desert and Sian Lowlands. A sublanguage has evolved in each region, thanks to populations divided by the Algol Mountains.
Magic has been an important part of the culture of these regions for thousands of years, many practicing phantomancy.
