The Dwarven language is one of the four languages the player will come across, besides Elvish, Human and Goblin. This language is used in-game for the name's of the universe, continents, rivers, dwarven governments and settlements, dwarves, artifacts and engravings. However, as of yet, it lacks everything necessary for proper conversation, like grammar or personal pronouns. Here is an extensive dictionary of the known words.

Notes

Interestingly, the language lacks words like dwarf, human, goblin or elf (though one could use dák-enur -tree-hug- for that), though it is not lacking words for pearl (kovest) or pumpkin (fongbez) which don't even exist in the dwarven universe.
