Talk:Loross

Loross' Family
The comprehensive language list for AD&D forgotten realms contained in the Dragon Magazine Annual 1999 does not have any listing for Loross. However under the Ulou language family is a list of sublanguages: Netherese, High Ulutim, Low Ulutim, Chard, and D'tarig. Since Loross was the language of High Netheril perhaps it was High Ulutim in AD&D.


 * I do not think it at all likely that High Ulutim was Loross. For one thing, High Ulutim is a classification/subgroup, not a language. If it were a language, it would also have been listed as such under the "High Ulutim" heading with Andt, Naric, and the rest. Also, Loross was spoken by Netherese people, and the ethnicities of the speakers of the Ulutim languages are all northern ice dwellers. My best guess is that Loross is simply a sister language or parent language of Netherese in the Netherese language group. ~ Lhynard (talk) 17:04, February 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * After reading up more in Lost Empires of Faerûn, I'm convinced that Loross is simply a sister language to Netherese. ~ Lhynard (talk) 19:03, February 7, 2015 (UTC)

Says "Loross" is based on (real-world) Baltic. Simply untrue, according to Greenwood and Fonstad (separate Gencon panels).


 * Please provide a link or source that we can look up to confirm this. What is the actual quote? ~ Lhynard (talk) 18:46, January 16, 2018 (UTC)
