Gnomish

Gnomish is one of the funniest languages to exist in the current Kesian lexicon. Garl Glittergold crafted a staggeringly large language, making anyone who just glances at it crack a smile. However, there is a lot of thought put into the language, with it making very fine distinctions between alike concepts. It's, strangely enough, a better design and architecture language than Dwarvish in some respects.

It is a language of industry and technology but also one of nature thanks to the division amongst the Gnomes. This difference becomes very noticeable when a Forest Gnome and Rock Gnome talk to each other. But throw a Deep Gnome into the mix and everything gets even crazier. So it matches the Gnomish mindset perfectly.

Geographical Distribution

Due to Gnomish being a cousin of Dwarvish, it is found in the same lands, propagating near mountains and hills. However, the gnomes have also taken land for themselves in the northeast, making it a common language spoken there as well.
