Chultan was a language group of south Faerûn[1] and the main language of Chult and Samarach.[2]

It was mainly spoken by humans of the Chultan ethnicity in Chult and Samarach. Additionally, it was commonly spoken in Calimshan, Lapaliiya, Nimbral, Tashalar, Tharsult, and Thindol.[2]

Tabaxi was the primary language of the Chultan language group.[1] It was characterized by its use of inhaled and exhaled vowels, consonants, clicks, and a singsong cadence.[3]
