language
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
Currently there is no way for a language to be associated with a Species, only Ethnicities. This means that even if a species such as for example "Demons" were to speak Abyssal, as per classic DnD, then it would be impossible to link the two unless done manually with bigger effort. Same with Devils speaking Infernal or Elementals speaking Primordial, Mindlfayers speaking Deep Speech and so on and on.How does this feature request address the current situation?
If not only Ethnicities could be tagged but Species too, it would enable a much broader ability to connect languages in the world as limiting language to only "Humanoids"/Ethnicities is a great oversight in my opinion. So many magical beings across various fantasy worlds speak languages and it should not be limited only to "people".If there is already a similar suggested feature out there, my bad, I couldn't find any.

well, I hope this still reaches a Dev some day. I think there was a lot of support here. Thanks guys :)

on 2026-09-01 22:10This would be helpful since the languages in my world have a foundation for each species, and with only a view variations between ethnicities.
