Line 104:
== Language ==
Dwarven language is, generally, split into two categories: [[Old Dwarven]] and Common Dwarven, also known as Common.
Old Dwarven is an archaic script, from the earliest days of the Dwarves. Less of a singular language, it is generally believed to be a mishmash of dozens of regional dialects that formed and dissolved over the early years of Dwarven settlement in the Mar Mountains. Only scholars that specifically study this language would know the names used to refer to any specific dialects, with even those names being hotly debated. The vast majority of Old Dwarven has been lost to time, with only a handful of words surviving to the modern day; words like yanka, meaning elder, and [[Bormar#The Molir|molir]], meaning militia. Any new discoveries of Old Dwarven are usually highly prized by the scholarly communities that study it.
