The Chondathan tongue was spoken in and around Waterdeep in addition to the ubiquitous Common and the northern language of Illuskan. Other regions where Chondathan was commonly spoken included: Amn, Cormyr, the Dalelands, the Dragon Coast, Sembia, the Silver Marches, Tethyr, the Western Heartlands, and the Vilhon Reach.^[1]

Like the majority of Faerûn's regional tongues, it used the Thorass runic alphabet.^[1]

Chondathan was derived from Central Thorass and is related to Cormanthan and Northern.^[2]

Typical Chondathan surnames include Amblecrown, Buckman, Dundragon, Evenwood, Greycastle, and Tallstag.^[3]
