Interesting Stuff of the Heralds Language.....
Here is some information we could find about the language of the Shin'a'in, Kaled'a'in, and Tayledras. It is not really complete, but it is the best that we could find. This was taken from Valdemar's Heartstone. Firstly, the Shin'a'in language.

Now here we have the Tayledras language. Notice the similarities to the Shin'a'in tongue, once the Tayledras and the Shin'a'in spoke the same language, which eventually evolved.
| Language | Meaning |
| Ashke | Beloved |
| Leshy'a | Spirit |
| Shay'a'chern | Homosexual (literally, one whose lover is like one's self) |
| Shay'kreth'ashke | Lifebonded |
| Zhai'helleva | Wind to thy wings |
Finally, the Kaled'a'in tongue, from which both Shin'a'in and Tayledras sprang. Unfortunately, we know even less of this than of Tayledras--but you can still notice some of the similarities.
| Language | Meaning |
| Ashkeyana | Beloved |
| Kechara | Beloved, Darling |
