Roccoa is spoken by the inhabitants of
Dor Roc on
Shade. "Roccoa" literally means "concerning someone from [Dor] Roc" and by extension is understood to mean "to do with
rocca" ("rocca" itself properly referring to the continent, not a species, but used as a species name by everyone else).
Our understanding of its vocabulary is tragically coloured by the usage of the most talkative rocca encountered, one Laffent Ferrl.
