Ganoom

This is a rough guide to Gnomish.

One: 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.
