Darnassian has also evolved into the languages of the Naga (Nazja), and the High Elves and Blood Elves (Thalassian). Darnassian, Thalassian, and Najza seem to have many common phrases, and Thalassian might be so similar to Darnassian that it would be more correct to call it a dialect, rather than a separate language.

So, for comparison and aiding purposes see Thalassian/speculation.
