How do you "hear" the various fantasy languages in your head?
Here's a random question for everyone who plays D&D/Pathfinder (or in fact, any other system with fantasy languages that don't have actual references to see how the word or grammatical structure works)... how do you "hear" various languages in the D&D/Pathfinder world that don't have references on how they are supposed to sound or how words in those languages are formed? Languages like Dwarven and Elven have enough other media representing them that there's likely a general consensus on how they're "supposed" to sound... but what about stuff like Infernal, or Aquan, or Draconic? Here are my personal views on those I've "figured out a sound" for... I'm interested to see what others say.
Infernal: Reverse Latin
Celestial: Gregorian Chanting
Ignan: Burning fire (I once had a bored Ifrit character rearrange the logs in a fireplace so that the crackling of the fire sounded like dirty words in Ignan )
Aquan: Gurgling and bubbling (I figure it's hard to speak this language intelligibly without a source of water to blow bubbles into)
Auran: Whistling and blowing wind
Terran: Grinding rocks/stone (probably hard to speak Terran without an accent unless you have a mouth full of pebbles)
Abyssal: Death metal vocals
Draconic: Growls, roars, and reptilian hisses
Orcish: Kind of like Klingon, very guttural with lots of "hard-edged" words
Infernal: Reverse Latin
Celestial: Gregorian Chanting
Ignan: Burning fire (I once had a bored Ifrit character rearrange the logs in a fireplace so that the crackling of the fire sounded like dirty words in Ignan )
Aquan: Gurgling and bubbling (I figure it's hard to speak this language intelligibly without a source of water to blow bubbles into)
