A thought occurs: So, apparently drow don’t technically have their own language. Or rather their language is a combination of undercommon and elvish. Only Elvish is used in religious ceremony as Lolth doesn’t believe in being prayed to in any other language. Given this, I’d like to propose the following:

-The church of lolth is likely preserving elvish to make sure it’s not corrupted by undercommon as to please the goddess.

-Even though elves live for a long time, their language will still be going through some changes. Especially when you consider how long it’s been since the “descent of the drow”

This leads to the interesting and hilarious possibility of drow speaking a more archaic form of elvish. So any conversations between a surface elf and a drow would look a little like this:

Elf: I think this man is lying.

Drow: Verily?

Elf: Yeah, I believe he’s the one we’re looking for.

Drow: Shall I trounce this villainous knave?

Elf: What? Oh yeah…sure.

My friend and I were discussing the lack of grandmothers in drow society. This whole strange discussion turned into a series of sketches. Grandmothers of surface elves and drow elves😶
