** 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. |

* ''[[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. |
