Roushoum, also called Imaskari,[1] was the ancient language of the Imaskari people.[2]
Speakers[]
Roushoum continued to be spoken deep in the Underdark by the survivors of the Imaskari Empire, the Deep Imaskari.[3] It was subsequently spoken by the High Imaskari who ruled over Mulhorand in the 15th century DR.[4]
Related Languages[]
Roushoum was the major language of the Imaskari languages family.[5] Its many varied descendants included the languages of the Durpari and the various Tuigan dialects, including Raumvira. It had strong influences on the Rauric family of languages as well.[2]
The modern variations of Roushoum spoken in the Hordelands were broken down into three subgroupings of languages for convenience: the Northern, Southern, and Eastern Imaskari languages.[6][5]
Script[]
Roushoum was written using the Imaskari alphabet.[7][2]
