The Bullywug language was the racial language of bullywugs, a race of frog-like humanoids.[1][2][3][4][5]
Speakers[]
Beyond bullywugs themselves, Bullywug was somewhat common as a secondary language among warriors in Hlondeth.[6] It was also a common secondary language among jungle druids, specialty priests in the Church of Ubtao, who sought to learn the exotic languages of the creatures that lived in Chult's jungles and swamps.[7]
Phonology[]
The Bullywug tongue consisted of a series of clicks, croaks, and staccato notes.[4][5] Though considered by some to be a rather crude or primitive language,[1][2] it allowed Bullywugs communicate over large distances, spreading news quickly across their territory.[4]
Dictionary[]
Y[]
- Yurk Y'blorkflug
- "Lord of fetid obliteration"; a name that the Blacktongue tribe of bullywugs used to refer to their leader, the death slaad Kuketh.[8]
