Gormki

The ancient predecessor to Dhraki, still spoken on ceremonial occasions and when the learned don't want others understanding them. Words can only end in a consonant, except when they have added suffixes. See  and .

History
Gormki was the language forged by Naril Taeror for his race when he was banished from the Halls of Ëaminarë. He made the language in such a way that it could easily be understood even in the vast echoing tunnels beneath the ground. Naeror also created the Runic Form of Gorkr, so inscriptions could be written in the rock. The Gormki spoken today is exactly that which Taeror invented thousands of years ago. Gormki gradually developed into the common Dwarvish language of Dhraki spoken by most Dwarves today.

Before 'r'
R's are always trilled. The English examples below must also be pronounced with trilled r's (though it can be hard)

Consonants
As you can see below, Gormki has far fewer sounds than any other language, including Dhraki. Most of the unvoiced sounds are not present. I believe this is because it is easier to hear and shout voiced sounds over unvoiced sounds when deep under ground. Some sounds may become unvoiced due to mutations in words, but this is not how they are written.

Case System
The case system Gormki uses involves changing an element in a word.

Examples:

 * Khaz - House, Khaze - House of.
