Gnomish
Also known as Gnomeric, it refers to the official language of the gnomes, which has been described by many as having similar roots to both the Common tongue and Dwarven tongue, but increasingly more complex.

Gnomish uses a more adapted version of the Dvarek runes used by the dwarves, but their version covers writings and literature that cover a wide variety of topics.
