There is only one other discernible indigenous language in Azrael, the enigmatic Feirvalian language, which is the regional language of Feirval, although it's only natively spoken or commonly used by the Feirvali people (Az. Feirvalta), although it is being taught as an optional language course in most schools. It is widely different from any form of Azraen with hardly any degree of mutual intelligibility, and as such is recognized as an entirely different language with many linguists looking in to investigating it's origins. The Feirvali are indeed quite different from other Azraens, and their language is key to their equally mysterious culture.

Verb rules:
- Verbs do not conjugate in relation to person
- 3 tenses exist - present, past, future
-Present is created by placing the noun or the article of the subject in front of the infinitive (ex. "lo jörai" = "I run" )
-Past is created by adding the suffix -ïs to the end of the infinitive (ex. "lo xoraiïs" = "I ate")
-Future is created by adding the suffix -u to the end of the infinitive (ex. "lo soraiu" = "I will go") - 4 aspects exist - simple (basic conjugation), progressive, perfect, and perfect progressive
-progressive is created by adding the suffix -vi to the end of the conjugated verb(ex. "lo raivi" = "I am walking")
-perfect is created by adding the suffix -so to the end of the conjugated verb(ex. "lo levaiso" = "I have arrived")
-perfect progressive is created by adding the suffix -sovi to the end of the conjugated verb (ex. "lo kïraisovi" = "I have been waiting") - 4 moods exist - indicative, subjunctive, imperative and interrogative
-subjunctive is created by removing the -ai ending and replacing it with -ska (ex. "Zu lo oska klavi..." = "If I were smart...")
-imperative is created by simply removing the noun, like in English (ex. "Jorai!" = "Run!"), (ex. "Uantaiha!" = "Stop (yourself)!")
-interrogative is created by by dropping the -ai ending and replacing it with -ən (ex."Nan ye sorənïs?" = "Where did you go?") - For transitive clauses, the object is placed after the verb(ex. "Ka kivon kömaiïs ka jöru "= "The man saw the boy")
- To use pronouns with transitivity you add the object pronoun to the end of the verb (ex. "lo kömaiïsyeha" = "I saw you")
- For ditransitivity, "ö" is used in similar fashion as "to" is in English (ex. "Lo tomaiïs ka kopa ö reha" = "I gave the cup to her"), (ex. "Lo tomaiïsroha ö reha" = "I gave it to her")
- Verbs are made reflexive by adding the suffix -ha (ex. "lo kömaiha" = "I see myself")
