The best way to explain this section is to cover a very simple fact: This feature of the guild is just for immersion and not required to use/speak with other characters in the guild. Anything short of a hardcore Role Player that won't drop their character out of a chosen language barrier, most if not all characters naturally speak what we will call 'the Common Tongue' which is based in English in this setting.
Please keep in mind that if you want your character to speak another language ( in this case Hakir or Idrili ) you must put a note in your character's profile under 'abilities' that they can in fact speak and understand the language! Also required will be a translation of what is said in the O.o.c area of your post to make it easier on your rp partners.

- Guide to the Modern Idrili Language - (Props to Rarian)
Idrili (Elven)
A language that as existed for untold years it was primarily used by the Elves in ages long past. It is only in the last few generations, a few hundred years give or take, that the language itself started to meld with that of the other beings interacting with the Elven People. Key terms remain in tact, words from the Ancient tongue, but more still have been replaced with this new dialect. Below is a guide to help navigate the unusual language known as Modern Idrili.

More Information:
A Prefix is a letter or a group of letters that attaches to the beginning of a word and helps to indicate or modify its meaning.
• The spelling of the base word never changes. Simply add the prefix to the beginning of the base word, as in the word unhappy. Think about the word happy. The prefix un placed in front of the word happy makes a new word with a new meaning—unhappy. The prefix un means not, so it changes the meaning of the word happy to not happy.
un + happy = unhappy.
• Be aware that double letters can occur. If you add the prefix un to natural, both the prefix and the base word retain their original spelling. The result is unnatural. Take a look at these other words where double letters occur: il + logical = illogical im + mature = immature il + legal = illegal un + necessary = unnecessary
• Watch out for prefix look-alikes. Some words contain the same string of letters as a prefix, but upon closer examination you’ll find that they are not prefixes. The re in real is not a prefix. Other examples include: uncle, pretty, press, interest, reach, irony, dish, and antique.
A prefix is usually added directly to the base word, but sometimes a hyphen is needed. Following are six common rules for adding a hyphen between the prefix and the base word.
5. A hyphen may be used to separate two e’s or two o’s to improve readability or prevent mispronunciation.
Examples: co-opt and co-owner vs. coordinate; de-emphasize vs. reenter (Note that many words with double e’s used to be hyphenated as a general rule, as in re-elect, re-establish, and pre-existing. However, current style manuals and dictionaries now tend toward “closing” the word except in cases where readability is affected. Both versions are currently accepted and listed in most dictionaries.)
6. A hyphen is sometimes used after the prefix re to prevent misreading or confusion with another word.
Examples: re-cover vs. recover, as in Re-cover the boat when you recover from the flu. re-lay vs. relay, as in Please relay the message that they will re-lay the tiles.

Suffixes are groups of letters added to the end of other words to make new words. When a suffix is added to a word it changes how that word is used in writing.
- List of Suffixes -
NOUN SUFFIXES -rnk = -acy; state or quality. ( democracy, accuracy, lunacy ) -rt = -al; the action or process of. ( remedial, denial, trial, criminal ) -rins, -sins = -ance, -ence; state or quality of. ( nuisance, ambience, tolerance ) -led = -dom; place or state of being. ( freedom, stardom, boredom ) -sz, -ez = -er, -or; person or object that does a specified action. ( reader, creator, interpreter, inventor, collaborator, teacher ) -ocd = -ism; doctrine, belief. ( Judaism, skepticism, escapism ) -ocx = -ist; person or object that does a specified action. ( Geologist, protagonist, sexist, scientist, theorist, communist ) - oxk, - ok= -ity, -ty; quality of. ( extremity, validity, enormity ) - dsix= -ment; condition. ( enchantment, argument resentment ) - iscc= -ness; state of being. ( heaviness, highness, sickness ) - caoj = -ship; position held. ( friendship, hardship, internship ) - coei, - xoei = -sion, -tion; state of being. ( position, promotion, cohesion )
The suffixes er ( sz ) and est ( scx ) are added to adjectives or describing words to compare things. Below are the rules in which they should be applied.
sz -- the equivalent of 'er' in the English language.
Rule 3: For two-syllable words ending in y (happy) ( In this case k ( ------ ) ) they should be dropped and an i ( In this case o ) should be added before adding the suffix est. ( In this case scx )
Example: Rosie is the funniest cat in my neighborhood.
(( Rosie oc xas yfiiosx nrx oi dk isovagezaeel. ))
A consonant is a speech sound that is not a vowel. It also refers to letters of the alphabet that represent those sounds: Z, B, T, G, and H are all consonants.
Rule 4: For one-syllable words (fat) (( In Idrili: yrx )), the ending consonant should be doubled before adding er ( sz ) or est (scx).
Example: That is the fattest bird I have ever seen. ( Xarx oc xas yrxxscx gozl O arhs shsz cssi.)
