i think it's ok to speak in different languages ( IE French Spanish German) to a certain point. but i feel that is completely ooc as none of those languages are ig and should be kept to tells or shortly if not in tells. The majority of Layo speaks English and if the PC doesn't know how to speak English very well they'll have a difficult time RPing.

as for IC languages, that's part of the game so there shouldn't be a problem oocly about it heh. =P

If it really bothers you, of course, you could always ask a character who is only using Elven to use English Elven...

For example, " **in elven** insert some random comment or statement here"

But you shouldn't know what they're saying to begin with, and not knowing makes RPing confusion better.

Hey, it's been done, especially when whispering was necessary due to quest things at the time etc.

Of course there are English elves. They are the ones who steadfastly refuse to speak any language but their own, and firmly belive they can communicate clearly with ANYONE, so long as they shout...
