[EmperorNuthulu]

I assume this means soon we will have someone who can actually speak Dwarfish/Dwarfanese/Dwarfian?

[Kogan Loloklam]

talul nasethad âm.

[NW_Kohaku]

It's fairly hard to do - there just aren't enough words in the dictionary to really have most meaningful conversations.

[Darvi]

Fun fact. 'Sane' isn't part of the dictionary, as I found out the hard way. Make of it what you will.

[Shambling Zombie]

They do have a word for Anus though, gotta give them points for that.

[Andux]

talul nasethad âm.

nasethad? nanoth!

talul dákenur nasethad! "thelire ethana, cuthefi otoga, ero, enela, nede, ima, tra-la-la!" stingbol nashon.

talul lamcubor--talul Armok--gňstang.

language undecent speak.

undecent? never!

(the) language (of the) treehug(gers) (is) undecent! "tree good, axe bad, peace, love, bunny, flower, tra-la-la!" bloody barbarian(s).

(the) language (of the) stoneworkers--(the) language (of) Armok--(is) awe-inspiring.

[NW_Kohaku]

Heh, you have to assume the presense of the verb "to be".  That's kind of an imporant verb.

There's also no words for "the" or a good way to pluralize the words.

I mean, don't get me wrong, it's fun to come up with things in dwarvish, and I'd really like to see some sort of dictionary/translator function if languages were cleaned up a little more.  The way that certain vowel sounds and consonents are favored by different races is a really nice touch, at that.  It just isn't developed enough to make a real language we could converse with one another over.

[Fniff]

So, the grammar is rather different from ours. Plurals can be excluded, along with words such as is or the. They also do not use slang much, preferring to use formal words. Interesting, interesting.
