> Ah but what i have learned from my estimed Elven friends is that Drow language is a language that continued to develope seperate and apart from the surface elves.. So to say it is elven is to say the edan Latin is the same as the current edan's common.

Please forgive the lateness of this response and allow me to once more state or restate that Drow are elven and as such speak elven.

It can be disagreed to the end of time but one should not state that the elven spoken by the surface elven is the only elven language.

One could with a reasonable belief state that what is spoken by the quessir here is more of a elven common as it is possible to contend that each of the elven subraces (pardon the term) may in fact have their own dialect of elven just as many earth bound languages have such as chinese and spanish.

It is not my intent to disagree but rather put forth a idea of the possible if not probable broadness of a culture that extends far beyond the UO, Toril, Greyhawk, Dragonlance, Middlearth, elven cultures.

Peace
