Zabarshan Elven (pronounced zah-BAR-shan) is an Elven language spoken by the Zabarshu, elves who live on the islands of the Wounds. It is the dominant language within the nation of Phersu, though it less frequently is spoken farther outside of this realm as well, including by some non-elves.
Zabarshan Elven maintains the general grammar of Elven but has its own distinct pronunciation, with a noticeable vowel shift and a reduced set of consonant sounds, as well as a unique vocabulary. The language is heavily onomatopoeic in nature - creatures, peoples, places, and more are often given names derived from sounds connected to them, especially but not only when no existing Elven word for the object exists.
