Dwarvish

Also known as Dvarek (though largely used by non-speakers to describe their runic alphabet), it refers to the official language of the dwarves, though it is largely spoken more as a second language.

Writing System

Dwarvish uses the Dvarek runic system, which comprises 22 characters (largely because the letters c, w, x, y, and z didn't exist in the dwarvish alphabet).

Notes

  • Dwarvish is heavily inspired by a mix of Scottish Gaelic/Old Germanic (along with some words of my own invention).
Common Phrases
Angar Nerûl
