REALLY short bosmeri language headcanon bc im working on new oc Rhyielhelas;;;;
the various bosmeri languages/dialects are similar to welsh in the way that most of the words are SUPER long. (this is why a lot of their names are quite long, eg Wylandriah or Telaendril!)
the deeper into the depths of Valenwood you go, the more ancient the dialects, and the longer the words become. it's not uncommon for a single sentence to take up a paragraph of space. this is because words are a blessing from Y'ffre and more devout bosmer honour this by making the most of their gift
