Mamurata Elven (pronounced MAH-moo-rot-ah) is a language spoken by the Mamurat, an isolated group of elves who live on the Ucrisla Tidewall. Though it began as a dialect of Elven, it has diverged to such a degree that many consider it to now be a different tongue entirely. Mamurata Elven uses a vocabulary that is distinctly Elven in origin, though it is rather archaic compared to the dialects spoken by the elves of Hinthial and Brightmarch, with many words that have long since fallen out of use elsewhere. This shared lexicon is not nearly enough to obscure the differences between Elven and the language spoken by the Mamurat, however. For one, Mamurata Elven has only around half the phonemes used in Elven, resulting in many words whose meaning is highly context-dependent. Even more strikingly is that the Mamurat have developed a wholly new grammar. In Mamurata Elven, word order is completely arbitrary, determined only by the importance the speaker places on each word relative to the others in a sentence.
