[edit] [view] Nefalamur (Fell-folk Nifelakhan)A dialect of Nifelakhan spoken mainly by the original members of the Fallen, Fell-folk Nifelakhan generally tends to have softer-sounding syllables with less gutturals, although the 'kh' clusters are still very common. Vowels shift from standard Nifelakhan in many words (such as from 'nifel' to 'nefal'), and when spoken it is smooth and quiet, with a rolling, rhythmic intonation, almost like singing. 'Nefalamur' is a compound meaning "night-angels' ".
