Primordial was the language of primordials[3] and elementals[1]. The Abyssal language was a form of Primordial warped and twisted by the evil of the Abyss. And some believed the Giant language was a debased form of it,[3] though it had actually been taught to the giants fully formed by their creator god Annam.[4]

It was also considered a language family, so that the elemental languages Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran were considered a group of dialects of Primordial. They were sufficiently similar that creatures who understood one of those dialects could understand the others as well.[1]

Primordial used the Barazhad script[2] or the Dwarvish script.[1]
