About Ithril
The major language of the elves in my fantasy world of Nlīkamēa. It is the oldest still surviving language in the world, remaining unchanged for nearly 5500 years. The reason for that is that is the lingua-franca of the elves as well as the language of law and justice. In fact, if a treaty isn't written in Ithril, on elf will take it seriously and no elf can legally call themselves a 'vjamjetsha' if they don't speak it.
