    It should be noted that all of the beast tribes are, in fact, categorized "Spoken" (At least, according to my research - which lacks the lore book as source). The term "Beastmen" or "Beast Tribe" is a derogatory term used by the self-proclaimed "civilized" races and a mark of the Garlean Empire bestowed on any race that associates with Primals or is accused of doing so. This includes owners of the Echo. While the empire definition is pretty clear, the other usage of the term is arbitrary - Lalafell are clearly mutated popotos and belong to the vegetable tribes as subcategory of the beast tribes (headcanon).

    That said, the Elezen became a Beast Tribe during the MSQ according to Garlean definition.
