In World of Warcraft: Forever, a Wowhead report describes Skyborne players communicating across faction lines through Darnassian. The observed case involves the High Order Skyborne on the Alliance side and the Windshaper Skyborne on the Horde side.

What the report observed

The Skyborne begin as one race before splitting into the two opposing factions. The report cites a Classic WoW subreddit screenshot showing two players using Darnassian in chat. It says all Skyborne currently have access to that language, allowing the opposing groups to understand one another in the observed interaction.

The report also says the interaction can reach other Elves. For Forever players, that makes Darnassian the language to test when encountering an opposing-faction Skyborne, although the supplied evidence does not guarantee that every Elf can participate.

What remains unconfirmed

This is an observed report rather than Blizzard confirmation. It does not establish whether the shared language is an intended Forever feature or a side effect of the Skyborne starting together. It also does not confirm that the behavior will remain, apply to every Elf, or extend to grouping and other cross-faction systems.
