Talk:Undercommon

Deep Speech ≠ Undercommon in 5th edition
In the Player's Handbook 5th edition, Deep Speech and Undercommon are described as separate languages. Deep Speech is identified as spoken by Mind flayers and Beholders, while Undercommon is the language spoken by the other Underdark dwellers. Should they be listed as distinct languages? -- Sirwhiteout (talk) 16:21, September 24, 2016 (UTC)


 * Good to know. As far as I know, Deep Speech was a 4e invention. I'm the resident language guy here, but I don't know much about 4e, so I cannot confirm that. I'm all for splitting them out, but we need to be careful. If a 4e source said a creature spoke Deep Speech, we should probably put that here as Undercommon, and only use Deep Speech separately if form a 5e source. ~ Lhynard (talk) 18:38, September 24, 2016 (UTC)
