Jel

A language spoken by Argonian/Saxhleel s. Described as "the closest speech to thought" and a way of conversing communally with the Hist. Unlike many Tamreillic languages, Jel is not derived from Ehlnofex, but comes from the ancient and sensitnet trees (Hist). Jel completely lacks tense, and Argonians generally view all of life from birth to death as a single moment. Much of the Argonian language also relies on non-verbal communication or "body language" to convey meaning, which may be lost in translation for those unaccustomed to the Argonian's way of speaking. This difficulty in comprehension also goes in the other direction, where an inexperienced Argonian may have difficulty interpreting the emotions of an outsider. This mutual inability to decipher body language may be why Argonians speaking Tamrielic will often preface their statements with an emotional qualifier, seen most often in the form of "I erect the spine of ...".
