Aquan

Script: Unique 

Summary: Aquan is a language developed entirely within water; the vibrations of speech carry much faster and further through water than through air. However, most humanoids don't have ears designed to perceive sound clearly in water, meaning that understanding Aquan can be almost impossible without some sort of tool or magical device to help translation. 

Sounds: Within water, Aquan is usually a soothing, beautiful sound, even for those who can't understand it or perceive it fully. It sounds like whalesong, and even a furious Aquan speaker would sound more like a deep, baritone singer than a shouting person. However, without water to carry the sound properly, Aquan can sound like a very disturbing gurgling noise, almost like a person being strangled or choking. Even two people who both speak Aquan, if communicating out of water, would struggle to understand each other. 

Appearance: Aquan doesn't have a written language in the traditional sense. Instead, Aquan singers with sufficient magic ability can convey information and meaning via sculpting three-dimensional shapes from bubbles. These shapes look almost like sculptures, and attempting to reduce them into a two-dimensional, printable form robs them of a great deal of meaning.
