Ghukliak/Goblin

Work in progress. Dictionary and some of the rules and such are still subjects of change.

"Abagh mi xaridon iwi etine.
Mun untimoto batča gooninu, ath eusunoto še vrotor mi itidonok črirhenu!"

(/ˈɑbɑx mi ˈksɑɾidon ˈiwi ˈɛtinɛ. mun ˈuntimoto bɑtˈʧɑ ˈɢoːninu, ɑθ ɛuˈsunoto ʃɛ vɾoˈtoɾ mi itidonok ˈʧɾiɾhɛnu/) "We will conquer this land.
Humans will bow to us, while their cities will burn to the ground!"

— Hobgoblin Warlord

Language of the Goblinoids, Ghukliak (/xuˈkliɑk/), is surprisingly complex despite the common misconceptions of the rest of the humanoid kind.

Ghukliak is a harsh sounding language that efficiently displays the group mentality of the goblinoid cultures on its very structure. Goblinoids are notoriously famous from their hordes and from ganging up to form warbands that protect the interest of the group, and this is reflected on how Ghukliak is spoken. From the word order to pronoun use, the language is full of small nods to how the horde sees their own and the outsiders as well as how the goblinoids order themselves.

Writing System

Most commonly goblin is written with Dwarvish Script, but Goblinoids have been known to use Common Script as well, depending on the area.

Morphology

The Morphology of Ghukliak has rather extensive, and far more sophisticated than it is often given credit for. Despite the rough sounds of it, goblinoids can have vast amounts of information packed into their sentences.

Nouns & adjectives

Nouns of Ghukliak have 7 cases and 3 distinct plural and 3 singular forms, that show the speaker's relation to topics they are speaking from, and it heavily focuses on furthering information that could be seen vital to the group's survival. Adjectives follow the forms of the noun they modify. Adjectives come before the noun, and after the article of the noun.

When speaking of things or people, Ghukliak has a distinct form for speaking about things in general sense, things that are considered part of the speakers in-group in context of the conversation or part of the out-group.

General forms are used in neutral matters, while ingroup forms can hint of things like possession, friendliness, alliance, or harmlessness, etc. Outgroup forms can specify things like hostility, uncertainty, danger, unknown or target of frustration. While the definitions themself are vague, they get more weight from the context, giving a shorthand to transfer more information efficiently.

Singular and plural forms

	Singular	Plural
General	No suffix Dog òx hahg /ʌks hɑħ/	Suffix -ut Dogs rad hahgut /ɾɑd hɑħut/
Ingroup	Suffix -an /ɑn/ Dog òx hahgan /ʌks hɑħɑn/	Suffix -at /ɑt/ Dogs rad hahgat /ɾɑd hɑħɑt/
Outgroup	Suffix -on Dog òx hahgon /ʌks hɑħɢon/	Suffix -ot Dogs rad hahgot /ɾɑd ˈhɑħot/

In spoken language, indefinite singular article "òx" (/ʌks/) often drops in usage, or is used as emphasis, similarly to english word "just", or "iziku" /iʣiˈku/ in Ghukliak. However, higher-rank goblinoids tend to use the article extensively, as a show of superiority or "class". Singular definite article "mi", (/mi/), plural definite article "mun" (/mun/), and plural definite article "rad" (/ɾɑd/) are used widely, giving extra context in to a sentence.

The 7 noun cases of the Ghukliak are Absolutive, Ergative, Genitive, Dative, Locative, Ablative, and Instrumental. In situations where a noun has both noun case and uses a singular form the form is replaced with the case form. In case of a plural form case suffix is added first and them suffix -ti (/ti/). For example, general plural for "hahgan" (dog, ingroup) would be "hahgat" (dogs, ingroup) which would in Ergative form turn into "hahga" and "hahgati". Form of the case depends on same general/ingroup/outgroup logic as the singulars and plurals.

Thanks to the noun cases, Ghukliak has some wiggle room to it Subject-Object-Verb word order.

Ghukliak case explanations:

Ergative

is the doer of a verb.
The ergative affix only appears if there is an absolutive in the sentence! Otherwise, Absolutive is used as the base form of the noun.

Absolutive

is the done-to of a verb and the base form of the noun. In sentenses with just verb and a noun, Absolutive is used.
Absolutives are always no affix, besides the posible ingroup-out group or plural determiner!

Genitive

is the possessor of something. Genetive can be used in front of the noun that is owned, or following it with preposition "še" (equvalent on english "of") between the words, depending the type of emphasis speaker wants to use.

Dative

is the recipient of something.

Locative

is the location of something. It is used to refer things inside or next to something. It is also used for indicating something going "towards to" something.

Ablative

is the movement away from something.

Instrumental

is someone done with or used to achive the verb.

Pronouns

Ghukliak pronouns have their own forms to match each of the 7 noun cases. To further confuse the uneducated, Ghukliak has two forms from 3rd person pronouns in both singular and plural forms, with rather unconventional ways to use them. Pronouns make no distinction between gender of the target, nor are they referring to a person, animal or a thing. Instead, similarly to noun plurals, 3rd person pronouns are used to differentiate the ingroup from the outgroup.

3rd person in group-forms are used to refer to things the speaker has a good relationship with feels kinship towards or things they consider to be in usage or ownership of the ingroup. This can be everything from a friend, acquaintance they are trying to be friendly towards, their own shoes, a pet or a hill on the area they live in. Ingroup forms would be also considered polite forms to address a person or a thing.

3rd person outgroup forms are used to refer to enemies, possessions of someone outside of the ingroup, people speaker is unsure of, is unknown or hostile, or has someway lower or irritating to the speaker. The forms can be used both insults as well as in more neutral forms, but they make a distinct line between the speaker and the target they refer to.

Neutral entities are often referred with outgroup forms by default unless the spoken context is about joining the thing(s) or person(s) to the ingroup. Using ingroup form from a neutral entity is seen as a sign of a desire to have it or have a friendly relationship with it. To avoid stepping on any toes, speaker might avoid using pronouns from items of great value just to show respect to the owner of it.

Singular Pronouns

Important thing to note especially about singular pronous use, is that the speakers do not strictly refer themselves in first person or their speaking companion in second person in certain context. It is quite common that Ghukliak speakers so their opinions and alliances in their pronoun use. Speakers may start to refer a person they are speaking to or themselves in the third person or find other reasons to refer people or things on the third person, just to show how they view the target they are speaking about. Speaker might refer higher up by their name and with 3rd person form "ačrax", to show respect and desire to belong to their ingroup, or show trust to a clan member by referring them with the form "ovrox".

Using ingroup or outgroup form when speaking of both target and from the speaker themselves, the speaker is trying to further push away or reel closer the relationship they want with the target. With ingroup forms this a sign of great admiration, though can be seen as cocky, and with outgroup forms the ultimate form of despise. For example, they could refer an enemy group as outgroup "ovrogh" while referring themselves as outgroup "ovrox" to show hatred towards them.

For this reason, it is not unheard of that native speaker of Ghukliak might suddenly start to refer others or themselves with 3rd person pronouns just out of habit, even when speaking entirely another language.

	1st person	2nd person	3rd person ingroup	3rd person outgroup
Ergative (doer)	I arax /ˈɑɾɑks/	you ulux /uˈluks/	he/she/they/it ačrax /ˈɑʧɾɑks/	he/she/they/it ovrox /ˈovɾoks/

Plural Pronouns

In the plural pronouns the inherit tribalism and communal nature of the language truly shines through, as not only the third person pronouns follow the ingroup-outgroup dichotomy, both 1st and 2nd person plurals have inclusive and exclusive forms.

Inclusive forms refer to all the participants in the context of the conversation ("we all" and "you all"), where exclusive plural most commonly excludes the person(s) whom the speaker is having conversation with. Exclusive forms can also be used to speak about a part of the group, like in case of "some of you" or "some of us", or point a responsibility of an action to a group to a person while aknowledging that person spoken to wasn't nesseseraly the one who executed the action.

	1st person inclusive	1st person exclusive	2nd person inclusive	2nd person exclusive	3rd person ingroup	3rd person outgroup
Ergative (doer)	we abagh /ˈɑbɑx/	we ubugh /ˈubux/	you umagh /ˈumɑx/	you omugh /ˈomux/	they/those ačragh /ˈɑʧɾɑx/	they/those ovrogh /oˈvɾox/

Verbs

In Ghukliak, verbs have 4 tenses: the present, the future, the past and the remote past. Verb suffix is determined by the subjects general, ingroup or outgroup classification. If the subject is in plural form, -t is added to the end of the approriet verb suffix.

Tense	General	Ingroup	Outgroup
Present	No affix to run → miadri /ˈmiɑdɾi/	Suffix -e /ɛ/ to run → miadrie /ˌmiɑˈdɾiɛ/	Suffix -u /u/ to run → miadriu /ˌmiɑˈdɾiu/
Past	Suffix -xi /ksi/ ran → miadrixi /ˌmiɑˈdɾiksi/	Suffix -xe /ksɛ/ ran → miadrixe /ˌmiɑˈdɾiksɛ/	Suffix -xu /ksu/ ran → miadrixu /miˌɑdɾikˈsu/
Remote past	Suffix -ši /ʃi/ Did run → miadriši /ˌmiɑˈdɾiʃi/	Suffix -še /ʃɛ/ Did run → miadriše /ˌmiɑˈdɾiʃɛ/	Suffix -šu /ʃu/ Did run → miadrišu /ˌmiɑˈdɾiʃu/
Future	Suffix -ni /ni/ Will run → miadrini /miˌɑdɾiˈni/	Suffix -ne /nɛ/ Will run → miadrine /miˌɑdɾiˈnɛ/	Suffix -nu /nu/ Will run → miadrinu /miˌɑdɾiˈnu/

Imperfective and perfective aspects

Besides the 4 tenses, Ghukliak verbs can also use imperfective aspect. The 'imperfective' aspect refers to ongoing actions, such as I am studying, and habitual actions, such as I study (every night).

Perfect aspect in English is exemplified in "I have read this book", which expresses an event that took place before the time spoken but which has an effect on or is in some way still relevant to the present.

Aspects can be combined with any tense, as suffix after the word but before the tense. Plural is -t is always the last to be added.

Aspect	Suffix	Example
Imperfect	Suffix -ki- runing → miadriki /ˌmiɑˈdɾiki/	"He is running." (Ingroup) "Čran miadrikie." /ˈʧɾɑn ˌmiɑˈdɾikiɛ/
Perfect	Suffix -za- (/ʣɑ/) ran → miadriza /ˌmiɑˈdɾiʣɑ/	"He ran here." (just now, ingroup) "Čran miadrizae rrabiku." /ˈʧɾɑn ˌmiɑˈdɾiʣɑɛ rɑˈbiku/

Numerals

When counting, goblinoids use a numerical system based on 12. Number 13 would be described in the form "bay mia ič", "twelve and one", twenty would be "bay mia is" ("twelve and eight"), and 24 "déniz šoni bay" ("two times twelve").

Instead of "bay šoni bay" (twelve times twelve) for 144, ghukliak uses the word "čere" and continues the numbers with the same logic cutting after each 12, making the number after "eč šoni čere, eč šoni bay mia eč" (1,727 or 11 times 144, 11 times 12 and 11) to be iaba (1,728).

Number 387 in Ghukliak would be "déniz šoni čere, is šoni bai mia ezu" ("two times hundred and forty-four, eight times twelve, and three").

Credit where credit is due!

Name "Ghukliak," as well as the word "Booyagh" and a good amount of the sound inventory of this language, were taken from different sources talking about goblin culture and language in DnD. These details were then expanded upon and worked on with the help of VülgårLang to generate some base rules and vocabulary. The language is constructed and expanded upon on that foundation, and further edited to work with the setting.
