Dwarfish
Dwarfish is a hard and rough language for the Dwarfish people. Dwarfish has two dialects: Old Dwarfish (spoken by the Dwarfs of olden days) and Modern Dwarfish (spoken by the modern Dwarfs). Old Dwarfish is understandable to those who speak Dwarfish, only differing in spelling, word order and some semantics. Dwarfish uses a rune system for carving and writing. In the Dwarfish Tongue, the language is called Tyrvanik.
