As this work will eventually be vast in scope, it will be constantly growing and added to. It is a reference mostly for scholars of Caradorian languages.

This is a compendium of words in Caradorian, and their equivalents in the Base languages which make up most of our modern languages. Not only is it useful to the student of languages, but it displays quite readily the similarities between certain languages.  It should be remembered, however, that the words listed here are lacking in context, and such matters as grammar and tenses are not covered.  

The word will first be listed in Caradorian, and then its approximate translations in Old Masallan (OM), Eldritch (E), Lorenai of the Shotin dialect (D), and Old Tongue (OT).

A note on the Old Tongue language. This fae language serves as the root for many modern languages, but its structure is quite different. Although listed here, it should be remembered that each Old Tongue word represents a feeling rather than a thing, and that the meaning of the word varies greatly with the context it is spoken in, as well as the moods and attitudes of the speakers.  Old Tongue has no tenses or proper grammar - it is what is termed an "intuitive" language, and each word conveys meaning because of its essence, instead of an artificial system of understanding.  Old Masallan, Eldritch, and Lorenai all take their roots from Old Tongue, and often utilize intuitive language elements throughout their speaking.

Lastly, it should be remembered that many words in the following languages are "saporitic", meaning that they directly relate to the essence of the thing they name (this is especially true of Old Tongue and Old Masallan).  Saporitic words are much sought after by practitioners of magic, for the words command power over the things they name.  It is dreamed by some that there are "pure" saporitic words, comprised only of the essential sound of a thing, and that if they could be discovered, they would allow perfect command over the things named.

Here, then, are the words, with their pronunciations in parentheses after each word.

It should be noted that Caradorian is a ‘code’ language, with little connection to the Base or Root languages – thus its dissimilar pronunciation. Most other languages, however, will bear significant similarities.
