    From Elfsperanto to Orcstralian: The Languages of D&D
    Jul 26 2024

    In this episode we discuss the languages used in Baldur's Gate 3, and in Dungeons & Dragons more broadly. Hosts Dr. Ibi and Dr. Joe cover topics including:


    • What is a lingua franca?
    • What is a constructed language?
    • Fantasy races (species) and the signs and sounds they make.
    • How the needs of tabletop roleplay leave D&D's designers to "leave something to the imagination".


    Contains some strong and other types of language.
