[TR] These are the tongues that are spoken by monster who are sentient and have developed enough to have a language. They are difficult to learn but learning is open to anyone who can find a teacher and the patience to master them. It goes without saying that monsters learn this as their own language as DF 1. As with human tongues there are many dialects, each must be learned as a separate language in order for them to be understood. While Monsters might be able to understand local dialects it is possible that dialects from a distant land would be unintelligible to them also. The game master must decide if the monster race has any written language. Some examples of monsters tongues are given below but feel free to add other monster tongues specific to your campaign.

These languages actually consists of several sub languages which might be considered separate languages which a 'native' could learn at 1 DF but others must learn at 2DF.
