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.

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.
