§16: Introduction
As of 04-14-2014: This is now a CDO project.
“It is a guttural language, and Khazalid vowel sounds in particular are uncompromisingly precise and very heavily accented. Consonants are often spat aggressively or gargled at the back of the throat.”
"Greetings fellow Dawi-Zharr"
I know I’ve had some fun and flavor greeting fellow users here like this.
Approaching the subject, we should be aware of the Lore on various dialects of Khazalid and that things can be described in many different ways. However I hope we could contribute an article presenting some examples of how we say things here around the trendier district of Mingol Zharr-Naggrund. Direct translation are impossible because of the differences in the amount of words between the ancient dwarf tongue and the low speech of the race of the Umgi that they themselves call “In-Glesh”. This task is a great one however it truly is amazing to see a word or a phrase develop and something I think is much better suited as a community project than a scholarly one.
Submissions can be good or bad however nothing is really wrong if it’s descriptive and everyone is welcome to participate with submissions, new or additional entries, grammatical corrections for words or interesting phrases, curses or battlecries etc.

§17: The origin of the Chaos Dwarf language and comments by Rick Priestley
"The original source for the Dwarf language was the Dwarf Army book for WH 4th edition as I’m sure you know - which Nigel Stillman and I wrote way back when - the Dwarfish language and grammar was based on an article I wrote in the 1980’s for Warhammer Roleplay that never saw the light of day. The Chaos Dwarf language is a dialect of your standard Dwarf Khazalid - so in terms of grammar and word construction it is the same. The trouble is - many subsequent writers at GW have either ignored or weren’t aware of the work done previously - as so often happens. The words I introduced for Tamurkhan were all based on the original Khazalid - I guess when the book was rewri
