This is the root language of Earthsea and the language that allows wizards and mages to take control of things. The true names and words for things, which are given in this tongue, give a witch or wizard control over the object.
Dragons speak this and are capable of twisting the truth, though they cannot lie. But when humans speak the true speech they must speak the full truth.
