The people of the sea have two languages, one that is used underwater: Veihlsdinhu, and another that is used outside the water: Regemdinhu. The second is older and has fallen into disuse. There are few speakers of Regemdinhu remaining. Only high-ranking people use it and just for official business. After becoming a human, Erunestian speaks in this language since the other one consists of sounds that humans are unable to produce or hear.
