The Atlantean Language

Overview

The Atlantean language is the oldest known language surviving on Earth today, though it has been estimated that there are no more than six fluent Atlantean speakers in the 21st century.

Atlantean was first spoken on the island of Atlantis approximately 12,000 years before present.

Atlantean has survived primarily as the language of magic. Although spells can be cast in a number of ways, the primary method appears to be the recitation of Atlantean words. Even creatures whose magic is innate, or instinctive, such as the demon Avatar, use Atlantean to cast spells.

Written Examples

Atlantean has a written form. Some examples are given here, but as these are the words of spells a translation will not be given.
