Dwarvish is a fictional language often associated with the Dwarves in various fantasy settings, particularly in works like J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. It is characterized by its guttural sounds and complex grammar, reflecting the culture and heritage of the Dwarven people, who are known for their craftsmanship and mining skills. In many fantasy role-playing games, such as Dungeons & Dragons, Dwarvish serves as a language for players to communicate in-game. It is typically used in written form on runes or inscriptions, and it often includes unique vocabulary related to stonework, metalwork, and battle, emphasizing the Dwarves' connection to their environment and traditions.
