Language

Necromancers generally speak Common, but their religious writings are in a language called Endu, many words of which are also used in day to day lexicon. The word tan'nesh for example, roughly translates to "forget" or "ignore", is commonly used to describe people and things which are not part of the necromancer culture. Embu(roughly translated as "thirsty") also sees use in a wide variety of roles. Since necromancers learn a part of the language to complete various religious rights of passage in their youth, all of the swear words are also in common circulation.

The word tan'nesh can be used as either are descriptive term(as in "that's so tan'nesh") or a noun, calling someone or something a tan'nesh. The term is not inherently derogatory, in most use-cases it simply means "not necromancer"; but it can be used as an insult or slur.

Swear Words

Necromancers have all the common curse words, but they aren't actually particularly offensive. The word nikta means 'to fornicate', and is frequently combined with syntaxes from Common to take the place a similar swear in that language. "Get niktaed!" or "Nikta off" for example.
