Starfish Language: Difference between revisions

Line 188:
** Saurials are described as having a language that is outside the range of human hearing, so either subsonic or ultrasonic, and also having a component based on chemical scent emissions.
** Illithids are telepathic, so they have no spoken language, but when they need to write something down (say, to leave a message for another illithid), they have a written language called Qualith. This arrangement of lines and slashes (similar to braille) is read by an illithid's tentacles. Qualith is written in four-line stanzas, each stanza influenced by the other three in some way, and is so alien in construction that non-illithids need magic to interpret it.
** Much like the Ents mentioned above, the language of treants is slow and complicated, often taking hours or even days to complete a conversation. Usually only druids have the patience to learn it.
* ''[[Mage: The Awakening]]'' has the High Speech, which may or may not be the same as Atlantean. It is, as far as most mages can determine, a language which accurately describes the fabric of reality itself and is used to empower spells by more precisely defining their parameters. [[Muggles|Sleepers]] [[Weirdness Censor|cannot perceive it at all]] in either its written or spoken forms, and other supernatural creatures can perceive it for what it is but not understand it. Even most Mages only know enough to empower their spells - only a select few obsessives even know enough of it to hold a basic conversation. Mages theorise the language may be "broken", missing some essential component.
* The alien race called Kyz from ''[[GURPS Supers|GURPS International Super Teams]]'', use a language that is a mix of of sounds and empathic projections.
