About Primordial Speech
This is the first language developed in the World of Elepréel and the one that all high reptilian languages were based off of. It was spoken by the nine species of Primordials mainly in the early to middle first age. Its usage diminished over time with the creation of more efficient languages such as the Mountain Tongue, but it was not fully extinguished until the effective extinction of the Primordials at the end of the first age.
