I personally love languages, and believe that it is an enormous factor that makes fantasy either good or bad. Tolkien, the almost universally accepted master of fantasy actually invented his languages first, and THEN wrote the Lord of the Rings, and There and Back Again (aka the Hobbit) along with his other material concerning middle earth.  So obviously what Im leading up to is: should PlaneShift have languages for its races? I mean, not that anybody being one of those races would be obliged to become fluent in its language (like any of us actually have the time for that!) , but it would be unique and interesting to have mabey spellbooks written in both english and a second language, or streetsigns using dwarvish or nothrir characters etc. Also, mabey there could be a namebook in the different races tounges, so that anybody wishing for an \"authentic\" name for their charecter in the language of their race could find the equivalent in the namebook.

Does anybody agree/disagree ?
