Low Elvish (Low Elvish Norelbhrin) is a descendant of Old Albic spoken in southwestern Britain.

Over time, the language has undergone some fundamental changes. For example, the Old Albic case endings are lost, but a new system of case marking has arisen by initial mutations. The developments can be compared to similar developments that occured at the same time in other languages of western Europe.
