Twilight (language)

Languages→ Twilight

The Twilight language is the most abundant language spoken in the Twilight Realm, and is infrequently spoken in the Light World. Usually only those with ties to the realm speak it, including twilits and twili themselves. Indeed, it is the language of the twili, and its etymological roots overlap with the Hylian language. Both Twilight and Hylian are rooted in a common ancestral tongue which itself is derivative of Ancient.

To Light Worlders, when Twilight is spoken spoken it often sounds like scrambled Hylian, but there is too little in common to clearly communicate messages.

Those unaccustomed to hearing Twilight often claim it sounds as though every word echoes slightly.

The script used in Twilight is shared by Ancient, though linguists are quick to point out some stylistic differences.
