Auran was the language of the Elemental Plane of Air.[3] It was also known as Old Alzhedo, as the modern Alzhedo language spoken in Calimshan derived from it.[4]

Description[]

Auran was a breathy, relaxed language that has been described as a slow exhaling of air.[3]

It was considered a dialect of Primordial, so that creatures who spoke one of the other elemental dialects such as Aquan, Ignan or Terran could understand Auran and vice-versa.[1]

Derivative Languages[]

Both Alzhedo and Midani derived from Auran.[4]

Speakers[]

In addition to creatures native to the Plane of Air, Auran was sometimes spoken by Air genasi[5] and smoke drakes.[6] Kenku could understand Auran, but could only produce speech through mimicry.[7]
