Introduction

Gnomish as a language was developed by Deider (vocabulary) and Vergilius (grammar). Others have added their thoughts to the language, but the language itself has not yet been approved. Those who study and use gnomish should be aware of its status as an unofficial language.

Currently, Gurky is the one to talk to if you want to suggest a word or grammar rule.

The Basics of the Gnomish Language

Gnomish style

Gnomish is derived from dwarvish, and it should be sort of 'German-esque' in sound. The grammar is Indo-European in nature and verbs are fully inflected to represent changes in time, aspect, voice, mood, person and number.

Grammar

Most of these are rules of thumb; grammar is a complex thing to invent, but can serve as an effective way for learners and creators of a language to deduce new vocabulary from existing vocabulary.

• When someone becomes a doer of noun or a verb, such as a "warrior" or a "wizard", usually the suffix -otik is added to the base verb or noun If the base verb or noun ends with a vowel, that vowel is removed. Example: To fight, stikkoch, a warrior -> stikkotik. Magic - zata, magician -> zatotik , since -och is the ending for all gnomish verbs and zata ends with a vowel.

Gnomish Vocabulary Creation Guidelines

Remember that gnomish is germanesque in sound and based on dwergen. Do the following when making gnomish vocabulary:

1. Look for an existing dwergen term.
2. If a term exists, use the rules Deider and co. specified to convert it to gnomish.
3. If such word exists, use German, Dutch, a Scandanavian language or Afrikaans and make something up, still keeping to the language conversion guidelines.

Gnomish Vocabulary:

1. Vowels Gnomish has ten vowels, five short and five long, as written below:
   Short vowels: a, e, i, o, u
   Long vowels: aa, au, ei, ie, oo
2. Consonants
The following consonants do not exist in gnomish: b, q, x, y A few gnomish consonants can are expressed in Common as letter combinations. They are: sch, spl, chz, kn, tz, znt
3. Miscellaneous Rules
• No words end in the letter s.
• No words start with the letters v, c, or k.
• There are no ‘th’ sounds in gnomish.
4. Letter changes from Swedish/Dwarvish to Gnomish:
v -> j c or k at the beginning of a word -> ch b -> sch, spl th -> t
