Goblin Language

Article written by Ambro, Uziel, Loreseeker


The Goblin Language is spoken by Goblins, Hobgoblins, Bugbears, and other Goblinoid races of Krynn. The language to outsiders appears to be simple grunts but it is a complex language involving not just words but pauses, intakes of breath, and gestures. It does not have its own alphabet, but sometimes the Ogre Language alphabet is used.
