Monk Language

The monks have their own special language called Gallif. It's a language that is unique to monks, elemental to their being a monk and not natively learnable by non-monks. It is shared across every community of monks in the world.

Gallif
"The amazing thing about Gallif is... any time you want the words to explain something and can't find them, with Gallif... you can make them. Our language is so very, utterly elemental, we can take the atoms of our words to form any idea we understand. There are of course common words, solid words, things that can be learned by others. But whenever you struggle with the words for something, as long as you understand the idea you're trying to explain, you can create the words."

Terms
Like all groups, the monks also have special terminology that encompasses ideas specific to their culture and belief system. Among those words and phrases are:
 * Mountain
 * "There are people... not always, but most often druids, who have an incredible presence. They fill a room when they enter, they feel... vast and ponderous and timeless. Their roots run deep, and there is an eternity to them. Old souls. We call these people mountains. Shay is the greatest mountain I have met."
