Sperethiel is the fictional language of the elves in the role-playing game Shadowrun. A number of words from Sperethiel are present—as loan words—in Or'zet. Within the world of Shadowrun, Sperethiel is supposed to be a unique language isolate, related to no other language or family of languages. In reality, the authors borrowed heavily from Irish for many of the words or phrases given as examples. E.g. Tír na nÓg and Tír Tairngire relate to concepts of Irish mythology. On the other hand, the word inventory is not very fleshed out, and many words or morphemes are not cognate with Gaelic, but are new combinations somewhat suggestive of that language.

  • Sperethiel is the fictional language of the elves in the role-playing game Shadowrun, as well as Earthdawn, which is set in the same world. A number of words from Sperethiel are present—as loan words—in Or'zet. Sperethiel is described as a very complex language with a number of subtle variations enabling expressions of different levels of formality and rank between speakers, much as in Japanese.
  • Sperethiel jest językiem elfów, którym posługują się klasy wyższe elfów zarówno w Tir Tairngire, jak i Tir na nOg. Język jest bardzo trudny do nauczenia się. Nie jest wiadome, czy Sperethiel jest językiem sztucznym (jak Esperanto), czy ma jakieś głębsze korzenie. Sperethiel ma ponad 12 deklinacji, niektóry używa się w pozeji. There are multiple voices, including Indicative, Imperial, several forms of Subjunctive, Speculative and Poetic. Kontekst także odgrywa rolę w porozumiewaniu się i zrozumieniu Sperethiel, podobnie jak w hebrajskim.

  • Sperethiel is the fictional language of the elves in the role-playing game Shadowrun, as well as Earthdawn, which is set in the same world.

Sperethiel is described as a very complex language with a number of subtle variations enabling expressions of different levels of formality and rank between speakers, much as in Japanese. * Glerethiel Morkhan Shoam (title of a popular Tír Tairngire sitcom) may mean either "Keeper in the Monkey House", "Inbreeding Causes Stupidity" or a third expression that is considered too taboo to publicly mention as it involves humans copulating with pigs (and possibly, inferrable from an episode's description, Elvish voyeurism thereof). * Speratemel rel timaan perest? Hellon Sperethiel. - "Is not communication for all to have? Share the language."

Zaznaczono, że Sperethiel najbardziej przypomina stary walijski, ale podobieństwa są jedynie kosmetyczne. Nie przypomina żadnego z języków stworzonych przez J.R.R. Tolkien w mitologii Śródziemia.
