About Sylvan
This language is created for a D&D campaign my friends and I are doing that involves the Feywild heavily. When I was looking up the Sylvan language that is said to be spoken by most fey-creatures I couldn't find any language constructed. The only thing I found was the Espruar alphabet.
In order for this language to be used in a D&D setting I had to make it similar to english in some aspects so that not only could the players speak it, but the DM, as well. This, however, also makes it pretty easy to learn if you do speak english, but I'm not sure about other languages.
