Dwarven Language
The ancient Dwarven Language has been around since the first Dwarves appeared on Krynn. Some of the different nations may have different words that mean something different in another kingdom, but for the most part it is all basically the same in Thorbardin, Thoradin, and Kayolin. The ancient form of the language was called Old High Dwarven. Gully Dwarves speak their own language called Gullytalk.
