Language

Every race has a metarace.  This metarace determines the race's culture 
and more importantly, its language.  Races can communicate with each other 
by using rsay (HELP RSAY) or say (HELP SAY).  Although all Gifted Ones know

the common tongue, they may not know a specific metarace's tongue. Although

Gifted Ones are very knowledgable in such languages, not all beings are, 
and some will only speak in their native tongue.
