Languages of the Forgotten Realms

I've compiled an organized list of languages, and the regions in which they are used / races that they are used by, within the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Most of it is 'canon' while some of it is my own, in one way or another (such as the dialects of various sub-races, and reassigning/recycling  of a few languages).

Enjoy!

Now Watching: Myriad Colors Phantom World

I'm currently watching: Myriad Colors Phantom World.
As the result of a viral outbreak, that occurred over a decade ago, the way the human brain works is irrevocably altered in such a way that beings, thought to be figments of imagination, like ghosts or monsters, become real... now collectively known as Phantoms. Since then children have been born with special abilities. Most of these apparitions at worst are a nuisance, but some of them can turn out to be quite troublesome...

Ichijou Haruhiko is a widely-read first-year high school student at Hosea Academy, with the special ability to summon and seal away Phantoms by drawing them; always accompanied by the carefree, helpful Phantom Ruru. While his energetic upperclassman, Kawakami Mai, fights Phantoms with the ability Spirit of Five Elements. The newest member of their club, the glutton Izumi Reina, uses her Phantom Eater ability to seal away Phantoms. There is another Phantom-hunting club member in the not very highly regarded Team E at the academy: the brave yet stoic Minase Koito, who, at least initially, prefers to fight Phantoms by herself.

Together they take on contracts their teacher, Himeno Arisu, gives them, dealing with all manners of troublesome Phantoms. In doing so, they experience the ups and downs of resolving issues with paranormal life, before an incident leads them to find out the truth about this world.

Now Watching: Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

I'm currently watching: Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.
300 years after a great conflict between Earth and Mars known as the "Calamity War," a woman named Cordelia sets out on a journey to Earth to speak for the independence of the Martian city of Chryse, which is under the control of the Earth government. Escorting her are members of the private security company CGS, Mikazuki Augus and Orga Itsuka. When a group named Gjallarhorn attacks CGS and Cordelia, Orga sees this as a chance to rebel against CGS and launch a coup. Mikazuki and Orga are thrust into a new conflict. To fend off Gjallarhorn, Mikazuki rides an old mobile suit from the Calamity War, powered by a nuclear reactor, the Gundam Barbatos.

Now Watching: Shangri-La

I'm currently watching: Shangri-La.
In a neo-futuristic age, Tokyo has turned into the world's largest "jungle-polis" that absorbs carbon dioxide, by-product of runaway global warming. The tower city called Atlas houses the rich and privileged, and is the object of yearning of all those who are not allowed to enter, struggling in the squalor of the surrounding jungle. But Atlas, the towering achievement of human ingenuity, was founded on dark ancient secrets which cause a sudden whirl of events. Festooned by colourful characters such as a riotous teenage girl, a child genius, a juvenile princess, a drag queen, a female doctor, an army major, and an elderly gentleman and lady, Shangri-La's hard-core world view plays out as an action saga.
