The Maiden's Tongue, also written as the maidens' tongue, was a secret ceremonial language used in ceremonies by Crinti priestesses of Loviatar in the nation of Dambrath in the Shining South.[2][1]

Speakers[]

The Maiden's Tongue was used exclusively by the Dambrathan priestesses of Loviatar in their rites.[2][1] Each priestess was taught the language, which was believed to be sacred to the Maiden of Pain, as part of her education.[2]

Description[]

The maidens' tongue resembled a degenerate form of the Thorass language.[2] It was a language in the Central Thorass subgrouping, being related to Thorass.[1] However, the tongue was unique enough that someone fluent in other Central Thorass languages still could not understand Maiden's Tongue.[2][1]
