In A Twisted Fate, the elves are called enda, because let’s face it, other species wouldn’t use English or any other human language for that matter! They would even have different languages. Hally’s country is Aemina. So I’ve come up with an ever-expanding and evolving English-to-Aemirin guide, pronunciations and Aeminan phrases.
See if you can make a sentence or translate this quote (answer on page 3)
Esmë’a, ësmem tiar dunyairi’a äsánë mico naura
