The Old Tongue is the language spoken in the Age of Legends. In the current Westlands only the well-educated know more than a few words.

For a thorough discussion of the Old Tongue, its etymology and the meanings of words and phrases, one of the best sources is Aaron Bergman's The Compleat Old Tongue 2.0 and references therein.

Here is a listing of Old Tongue words and phrases by where they first appear in the books. They are linked to their definitions and etymology in The Compleat Old Tongue 2.0. Locations of definitions, if not in the same chapter, are added parenthetically.
