Tangmüthí, the language of the goblins

The common language of the Goblins around the world of Tilandrial. Their language is oddly unique in the fact that their formal version of the language is recognized by all members of the Tochdakhmüthí (or Goblins, in the Conventional Tongue), rather than having so many variants of the language that the chance of two random members from opposite ends of Tilandrial will understand each other.

Syntax

Basic Sentence Structure

  • The basic syntax of Tangmüthí is Subject/Object/Verb. Like all languages, there are exceptions.
  • To ask a question, add "Jo" to the end of the sentence.
  • To emphasize something, add "Ja" to the end of the sentence.
  • Subject is often inferred, so one can usually omit "I" or "We" or "You" or "He/She/They" in a sentence, so long as it is understood.
