The '''Human language''' is one of the [[language]]s the player will come across. This language is used in-game for the names of the universe, continents, rivers, human governments and settlements, humans, artifacts and engravings, However, as of yet, it lacks everything necessary for proper conversation, like grammar or personal pronouns.

==Alphabet==
The letters of the Human alphabet are:

Of these 27 letters, 6 are vowels (A, Á, E, I, O, U); the 21 others are consonants.

The letter Y of the [[wikipedia:ISO basic Latin alphabet|ISO basic Latin alphabet]] does not occur in the Human alphabet.

==Graphemics==
* [[wikipedia:digraph (orthography)|Digraphs]] ''th'', ''sh'', ''ng'', and ''qu''.
** ''q'' only occurs in the digraph ''qu''.
* Common consonant clusters ''st'', ''sl'', ''sm'', ''sp'', ''str'', and ''thr''.
* Human has no [[wikipedia:diphthongs|diphthongs]].
* ''x'', ''ñ'', and ''j'' are always followed by a vowel.
* Possible [[wikipedia: syllable structure|syllable structure]] (C)3VC(C).
===Diacritic meaning===
The human language only has one diacritic ([[wikipedia:Acute accent|◌́]]) used on one vowel (''a''). It is probable that this is used to represent syllable stress. With the words revealed to us so far, this probably means only the syllables with an ''a'' can be stressed.

==Vocabulary==
{{main|Template:Noun dictionary|l1=Noun dictionary|Template:Verb dictionary|l2=Verb dictionary|Template:Adjective dictionary|l3=Adjective dictionary|Template:Prefix dictionary|l4=Prefix dictionary}}

The average word in the Human language is 4.723 letters long. The longest known words are ''thrathdad'' ("fortress") and ''stithngat'' ("profane").

The average word has 1.792 syllables. Words either have one or two syllables.

Goblin language

EruannoVG: /* Letter frequency */ Removed 'H', merged with digraph 'TH'. Added occurrences and frequency percentages of letters from Goblin Language raw file.

{{distinguish|l1 = Black Speech|wikipedia: Black Speech}}
The '''Goblin language''' is one of the [[language]]s the player will come across. This language is used in-game for the names of the universe, continents, rivers, goblin governments and settlements, goblins, artifacts and engravings. However, as of yet, it lacks everything necessary for proper conversation, like grammar or personal pronouns.

==Alphabet==
The letters of the Goblin alphabet are:

Of these 26 letters, 12 are vowels (A, Â, Ä, Å, E, Ê, Ë, O, Ô, Ö, U, Û); the 14 others are consonants.

The letters C, F, I, J, Q, V, W, and Y of the [[wikipedia:ISO basic Latin alphabet|ISO basic Latin alphabet]] do not occur in the Goblin alphabet.

==Graphemics==
* [[wikipedia:digraph (orthography)|Digraph]] ''th''.
** ''h'' only occurs in the digraph ''th''. ''h'' is a rare letter in Goblin.
** ''p'' only occurs in the digraph ''sp''.
* Common consonant clusters ''st'', ''sp'', ''sm'', ''sl'', ''sn'', and ''str''.
* Goblin has no [[wikipedia:diphthongs|diphthongs]].
* [[wikipedia: syllable structure|Syllable structure]] (C)3V(C)3.

===Diacritic meaning===
The Goblin language has three diacritics ([[wikipedia:Circumflex|◌̂]], [[wikipedia:Diaeresis (diacritic)|◌̈]], and [[wikipedia:Ring (diacritic)|◌̊]]) used on four vowels (''a'', ''e'', ''o'', and ''u''). It's probable that this is just a simpler version of the Dwarven language's system, keeping the mid, falling, and rising pitch contours.

It's interesting that the diacritics used here are the exact ones not used in Elvish (and vise-versa).

==Vocabulary==
{{main|Template:Noun dictionary|l1=Noun dictionary|Template:Verb dictionary|l2=Verb dictionary|Template:Adjective dictionary|l3=Adjective dictionary|Template:Prefix dictionary|l4=Prefix dictionary}}

The average word in the Goblin language is 4.815 letters long. The longest known word is ''snosstrosp'', meaning "clout".

The average word has 1.878 syllables. Words either have one or two syllables.

===Diacritic meaning===
The Elvish language has two diacritics ([[wikipedia:Grave accent|◌̀]] and [[wikipedia:Acute accent|◌́]]) used on four vowels (''e'', ''i'', ''o'', and ''u''). Its possible that this is just a simpler version of the Dwarven language's system, with just high and low pitch. It's also possible that the two diacritics represent short and overlong vowels, and no diacritic represents a long vowel.

It's interesting that ''A'' stands out as the one vowel with no diacritics, while in Dwarven it's the one with the most.

==Vocabulary==

The average word in the Elvish language is 4.993 letters long. The longest known words are ''thitathi'' ("admire"), ''thafatha'' ("battle"), ''riquethi'' ("chop"), ''lethathi'' ("glum"), ''thavetha'' ("mauve"), ''thethéfa'' ("meal" (paste)), ''cèthutha'' ("mine"), ''tithithi'' ("pepper"), ''quathari'' ("play" (perform)), ''thawathi'' ("post"), ''naquithe'' ("rabble"), ''thatheci'' ("rustic"), ''nethitha'' ("squid"), ''fithithe'' ("stretch"), ''thanetha'' ("ungodly"), and ''tholatho'' ("waste").

The average word has 2.556 syllables. Words either have two or three syllables.

==Graphemics==
* [[wikipedia:digraph (orthography)|Digraphs]] ''sh'', ''th'', and ''ng''.
** ''h'' only occurs in the digraphs ''sh'' and ''th''.
* Common consonant cluster ''st''.
* Dwarven has no [[wikipedia:diphthongs|diphthongs]].
* ''c'', ''f'', and ''v'' are always followed by a vowel.
* Possible [[wikipedia: syllable structure|syllable structure]] either (C)2V(C)2 or (C)V(C).
===Diacritic meaning===
The Dwarven language has five diacritics ([[wikipedia:Grave accent|◌̀]], [[wikipedia:Acute accent|◌́]], [[wikipedia:Circumflex|◌̂]], [[wikipedia:Diaeresis (diacritic)|◌̈]], and [[wikipedia:Ring (diacritic)|◌̊]]) used on five vowels (''a'', ''e'', ''i'', ''o'', and ''u''). The ring accent only appears on ''a'' and the diaeresis accent doesn't appear on ''u''.

The use of diacritics in Dwarven could mean that vowels having different pronunciations like in some European languages such as French, German, Swedish, 
or that it's a tonal language that indicate pitch, such as Chinese languages, Thai, Vietnamese, etc. The pronunciation of the diacritics is currently unknown.

| ''Å'' is a completely separate letter from ''A'' in various Nordic alphabets. And this diacritic is only used on ''a'' in Dwarven...

|}

The coincidence of ''Å'' being a separate letter in the Nordic alphabets and the ring diacritic only being used on A in Dwarven is probably just that, a coincidence. If ''Å'' is distinguished from ''A'' in Dwarven, then it is quite strange that no other accents are ever applied to it.

==Vocabulary==
{{main|Template:Noun dictionary|l1=Noun dictionary|Template:Verb dictionary|l2=Verb dictionary|Template:Adjective dictionary|l3=Adjective dictionary|Template:Prefix dictionary|l4=Prefix dictionary}}

The average word in the Dwarven language is 5.088 letters long. The longest known word is ''ngathsesh'', meaning "puke".

The average word has 1.868 syllables. Words either have one or two syllables.

=== Notes ===
Interestingly, the language lacks words like dwarf (possibly bistök-udos, "hairy man", or duradudos, "bearded man"), human (technically they have ''udos'' ("man")), goblin or elf (though one could use ''dák-enur'' ("tree-hug") for that). However, it is not lacking words for "pearl" (''kovest'') or "pumpkin" (''elbost'') which do not even exist in-universe.

The letter W does not exist elsewhere in Dwarven language, so it is unlikely that the word "dwarf" is the native moniker of dwarves for themselves. However, "dwarf" might be adopted from the original dwarven word for their own kind, and similarly they might call other races by their respective chosen monikers. "Dwarf" would then be some other language's approximation of the native Dwarven pronunciation, whose correct Dwarvish spelling could purely hypothetically resemble forms such as "dorf" or "dvôrfum".
