Not being at all related to the Common alphabet, it is a language based on phonetics. 1 2Ĥ spruar Alphabet 2 The alphabet of the Tel'Quessir is flowing, elegant, and given to ornament that slightly alters the sound of the character. ![]() There is some disagreement between scholars as to why this is the case some say that the long separation from the other elvenkind has led to a divergent evolution of language, while another school of thought suspects that the drow tongue is simply Elvish corrupted by Abyssal influences. ![]() The one exception to this is, of course, the language of the drow, which still draws upon the Espruar alphabet (and has lent this same alphabet to the writing of Undercommon,) but sounds much different from the surface elven tongue when spoken. Interestingly, there is surprisingly little difference in the Espruar spoken from region to region, or between the different subraces or even, for the discerning planar traveler, from world to world. Most scholars theorize that it was originally created by the moon elves and adopted by the other elven subraces, including the drow (though sun elven scholars will be quick to claim that it was first conceived by their own subrace.) In ntroduction turn, Espruar may have been derived of Hamarfae, the unique and elegant alphabet that portrays Seldruin (the language of Elven High Magic,) or perhaps from a combination of Celestial and Draconic, to which it bears a passing resemblance. So elegant and yet so simple, many other beings have also come to look to the Elves for their source of written inspiration, including creatures of the Elemental Plane of Water (who use the Espruar script for their Aquan tongue,) and the fey (who write Sylvan in Espruar.) There is much debate concerning Espruar's origins as it was invented several thousand years ago. Perhaps one of the oldest languages in the Realms, Espruar, the elegant tongue of the Tel'Quessir, still lends its alphabet to many commonly spoken Realms languages, including Aglarondan, Dambrathan, and the common language of the Realms Below, known to surface Realm scholars as Undercommon.
