Zandali

Zandali, also known as Troll or Zandalari, is the native language of the trolls. Zandali is still taught to the young of the Darkspear tribe, with orcish being taught in addition. Zandali always has a melodious flow to it.

Trolls of all types speak Zandali. Like many languages, Zandali has many accents divided by regions. The Stranglethorn Vale accent is distinct enough that trolls can recognize it with only one word.

In World of Warcraft, Zandali is the secondary language spoken by the Darkspear trolls of the Horde.

It appears to be named after the Zandalari, the progenitor species of all trolls.
