Nel'oth: Pronounced as [knell-awe-th] and is commonly written as Nel'oth. Its is a combination of the words Knell and loth
Knell (common): meaning the sound of a bell, especially rung for a death or funeral.
L'oth (ryi'k'lip): meaning eldritch
Nel'oths have a long trachea that helps conduct sound. They also have a larynx and a syrinx, allowing them to produce a wide array of sounds. They are great at mimicking noises that they hear in their environment like the lyre bird. The god tongue trait also allows for a Nel'oth to warp sound even more. These vocalizations can be incomprehensible and dreamlike to the human mind. All Nel'oths are amazing at throwing their voice however its a skill they must learn.
Language:
Their native language is called Ryi'k'lip [rē-k-lip] and it consists of distinct words, accenting clicks, and throaty growls. Nel'oths are born knowing how to speak Ryi'k'lip, and can easily learn a second. However a third language or more can becomes difficult (but not impossible) to learn.

Naming Convention: Can be named anything
Native Language Naming:
Must contain at least one apostrophe. Anywhere between after the first letter or before the last letter. The only capital letter is the first letter. Longer names will have more apostrophes.
Example: Ra’kat, Se’zeth, Za’ket, K’ras, I’lio, A’ator, Fe’saa'l, Uu'ls, Te’iin, E’elok, No’rein, Ma’ake, Hy’oil, Xe’moth
Writing:
Nel'oths write with their hands. Specifically with all 4 of their fingers. Naturally occurring shallow grooves around their ivory nails function as a nib dipped in liquid (like glass dip pens). Some Nel'oths choose to fill in these grooves with precious metals. The nails constantly grow so that filling in the grooves is temporary. It's usually done for aesthetic purposes or for traditional or ritualistic reasons. They can still use a pen to write, however this is more tedious. Or they can purchase metal nib caps that they can wear their nails so that they can still write the traditional way.
Alphabet: Their alphabet is phonetic, however rules such as "Qu" still applies when you use the hard C sound as a Q (example: Cueen)
