Languages of distant worlds

Given the size of the Universe, there are bound to be countless languages spoken within it. What follows is but a small sampling of languages spoken on other planets, both within and from outside of Golarion's solar system, and in the dark space between them.

Androffan

For other meanings of "Androffan", please see Androffan (disambiguation).

Androffan is the native language of inhabitants of Androffa, including the creatures and robots that crewed the Divinity spaceship that crashed into Numeria during the Rain of Stars. Many of Numeria's ruins are inscribed in this complex language, and few Golarion natives outside of the Technic League can speak or read it; indeed, the League actively hides documentation and teaching methods for learning the language. Nevertheless, it has been proved that magic, such as the spell comprehend languages can successfully decipher the script.

To the ear, Androffan is clipped and sharp; in written form it is quite alien to other forms of writing on Golarion, using multiple dots to supplement a curved and graceful script.

Brethedan

Brethedan is the language spoken by the large, jellyfish-like natives of the gas giant planet Bretheda, also called Brethedans. The language is extremely difficult for humanoids to understand or to use for communication.

Languages of Earth

It seems that the humans of the distant planet named Earth have many languages, and this list is unlikely to be comprehensive:

Elder Thing

The super-intelligent elder things, or "old ones", speak their own language also called Elder Thing. Due to the creature's alien form, the language is extremely difficult for other creatures to speak; it consists of high pitched shouts and doleful woodwind sounds. The written language is equally alien, being spun in circular patterns looking like nonsensical dots.

Grioth

Grioth is both the name of the language and of the batlike humanoid creatures who speak it.

Lashunta

The humanoid race who live on the planet Castrovel known as the lashunta speak their own language. Most lashunta also speak elven and can communicate with others via telepathy.

Mi-Go

The unique language of the extraterrestrial plant life known as Mi-go consists of clicks of their pincers and subtle colour changes of their heads. This inseparable connection of the language with elements of a Mi-go's body makes it an almost impossible language to be mastered by non-Mi-go creatures.

Triaxian or Triaxian Common

Triaxian Common, or simply Triaxian, is a language spoken on the planet Triaxus, the seventh planet in Golarion's solar system. It is a trade language spoken by many more creatures than the Triaxian humanoids who dominate the planet. Only draconic is as widely spoken and understood on the planet.
