It has both written and spoken equivalents. There are two specific dialects: Darnassian, the current language; and an older script, a strange dialect, that can be found in ancient night elf ruins (perhaps [[Elven (language)|Elven]]). |

| − | Just as the naga, high elves, and blood elves are descended from night elves, so Darnassian bears some resemblance to the [[Nazja]] and [[Thalassian]] languages. There are, however, strong ideological differences between the night elves and their distant kin. Thus, a linguist must take great care in drawing comparisons between Darnassian and its two cousin languages. Night elves tend to consider such comparisons offensive.<ref name="Encyc 361">{{ref web | pages = 361 | url = http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/encyclopedia/361.xml | title = Darnassian | accessdate = 2007-09-10 | work = The Warcraft Encyclopedia | publisher = Blizzard Entertainment}}</ref> |

||
| − | It has been pointed out that Darnassian, an old language, shares the same root word with the name of the Night Elven capital, [[Darnassus]], a city created relatively recently. Some reasons as to why this may be include: 1) the language was always called Darnassian, and the city was named for the language; 2) there was no name for the language prior to the foundation of the city, and so they bore the same, 3) the name of the language was changed, or 4) "darnass" has a translation we have not yet determined. |
