Aelhir, the ancient tongue of the Eldar, is a language of ethereal beauty and profound wisdom. Its words flow like a gentle stream, each syllable carrying the weight of millennia.
It is spoken by many Eldar and dialects of it have appeared within the Realm Matrix across cosmic history as it is based upon the wordless song the Aglaecai use to communicate with creations.
Older than the stars of the Realm Matrix, Aelhir is a language that whispers of creation and the cosmic dance. Before the fracturing of the world, Aelhir was the language of unity, spoken by all Eldar, regardless of their lineage.
Aelhir is a highly inflected language, with complex grammatical structures that reflect the intricate nature of reality. It is characterized by its flowing rhythm, melodic sounds, and poetic syntax. Aelhir words are often long and complex, reflecting the depth and breadth of the Eldar's understanding of the universe.
Aelhir's grammar is intricate and nuanced, with a complex system of verb conjugations, noun declensions, and sentence structures.
If any were to hear spoken Aelhir, they would note that it says very little with many, lengthy words. It is spoken with a slow, deliberate cadence, each word carefully articulated. The language is rich in diphthongs and triphthongs, creating a musical quality.
Unlike later languages like Valhir and Draihir, Aelhir had no words for concepts like death or suffering. This is a testament to the Eldar's original, idyllic existence, a time before the world was marred by darkness. However, as the world changed, so too did the language. The introduction of these concepts led to the development of new words and grammatical structures, ultimately giving rise to Valhir and Draihir.
