Deep Speech is a language that was brought to the world of Eberron by the daelkyr upon their incursion during the Daelkyr War. It is spoken by many of the creations of the daelkyr, from dolgaunts to symbionts, and their followers.[1]

Behind the Scenes[]
In 3rd-edition Dungeons & Dragons, the daelkyr spoke their own eponymous language, which eventually evolved to a new language called Undercommon. However, in 4th edition, these languages were merged into Deep Speech. In core 4th-edition D&D, Deep Speech uses the Rellanic script; however, in the Eberron campaign, it is a different script called Daelkyr.[1][2] In 5th edition, Daelkyr and Deep Speech are used interchangeably.[3][4]
