{{Main|Lapine language}}

"Lapine" is a [[fictional language]] created by author [[Richard Adams]] for the novel, where it is spoken by the rabbit characters. The language was again used in Adams's 1996 sequel, ''[[Tales from Watership Down]]'', and has appeared in both the [[Watership Down (film)|film]] and [[Watership Down (1999 TV series)|television adaptations]]. The language fragments in the books consist of a few dozen distinct words, used mainly for the naming of rabbits, their mythological characters, and objects in their world. The name "Lapine" comes from the French word for rabbit.<ref name=henning/><ref name=rogers/>
