Xuldorai (pronounced k-SOLE-door-eye) is a language spoken by the Xuldorai giants. This language is evidently an isolate, for no other languages nearby in Abanir or spoken by giants elsewhere in the world bear any resemblance that is more than circumstantial. Amongst other traits that set it apart, the Xuldorai language has no distinction between adjective and verbs and no real concept of a noun, instead chaining descriptive words to form a compound subject word. As a result the language is quite verbose when spoken formally, as the giants do in their dramatic fireside orations, but everyday use relies heavily on contractions of common terms.
Xuldorai has no writing system, but linguistic scholars from outside the tribes of the giants sometimes adapt the Targai alphabet for this purpose.
