Practically everyone in Itropa speaks several languages. Not everyone understands all of the languages.
You might see something similar to the following conversation:
Spike: (A) I think the humans are stupid.
Woofer: (A) I think so, too.
Spike: (A) I say we bite ‘em all on the leg. Show ‘em who’s boss.
Woofer: (A) Let’s do it!
This conversation is between two canars. The (A) before each denotes that they are speaking Animal-speak. Most people cannot understand it. Therefore, any (A)-speak should be ignored by bipeds.
Everyone on Itropa speaks Common/Basic. This is language we all understand. Below is a list of languages (not all-inclusive) spoken by the various denizens of Itropa.
(A) Animal. All animals speak the same language, i.e., canars can talk to porkbeasts, chetals, squirrels, etc.
(AL) Alien/Femalien
(B) Brownie
(D) Dwarven
(E) Elven
(F) Fey/Fairy. By the way, Fairies are the only race that can understand (not necessarily speak) all languages.
(G) Grunthian
(H) Halfling
(M) Marae
(P) Primal. This is very close to Animal, and with a little patience, animals can understand Primals and vice versa. Check the RL similarities between Portugese and Spanish for a reference.
(R) Robot. Any mechanical entity.
(S) Snorf
(V) Valosian
This list was developed to aid the newcomers in interpreting the various symbols at the beginning of a conversation. It is by no means the definitive list. Just a reference.
