Thorass language



Thorass is an old human language, the direct ancestor of Common. It was a pidgin variant of Chondathan that western Faerûnian traders developed to communicate with their counterparts in other lands. The alphabet of Thorass survives as the alphabet used in Common, Alzhedo, Chessentan, Chondathan, Durpari, Illuskan, Midani (in Anauroch only), Rashemi, Tuigan, Turmic and Uluik.

An inscription in Thorass will translate directly into Common, though it will often have a stilted and archaic form of phrasing and vocabulary. Thorass has a base 10 numbering system.
