Gol-Kaa
The language of the Goliath and the Feral Gargun. Structurally similar to Common, this language has three main tenses (past, present and future) as well as adjectives and adverbs that will precede words to modify them. However, nouns aren't gender specific and there are no articles in the language. The language is spoken almost entirely in the active voice (e.g. Pathwatcher slaughtered the goat) as opposed to in the passive voice (e.g. The goat was slaughtered by Pathwatcher) as structuring as such is gramatically torturous.
The language only recently adopted a written format via the Dwarven script. As the language is entirely phonetic, transcription is not only easy, but also entirely impossible to read unless you already know Gol-Kaa. Even Dwarves who spend their whole lives studying their robust language cannot decode Gol-Kaa writing without any previously known words.
Geographical Distribution
Goliaths only live in the Bull Peaks. Further north is the only known areas where the Feral Garguns live where their own dialect is known. As both races are generally cloistered off, the distribution is bare.

Feral Gargun last names are typically given from their mother's name and are usually given as "Gra'aal ____". If a Gargun wishes to adopt their father's name, they must perform a great deed that is only approved by the elders of the settlement. Few are able to do so and there is no shame in failure.
