Originally known as “High Tokish,” Loval has developed into its own full language, with a formal written system that shares words with the neighboring Grim-Tongue. The Lovalian people quickly developed a rich culture of philosophy and rhetoric but struggled with recording these works due to the informal nature of the original Tok language, thus Loval was born. Many Loval speakers can roughly understand Tok, but the same is not true conversely. The complex grammatical system of Loval leaves Tok speakers overwhelmed.
