Questions Regarding Dwarven Lore

[Andrettin]

Good day,

I have a couple of questions about the Dwarves:

1. Have any words in the Dwarvish language been shown so far?

2. Does the Dwarves' runic alphabet have a name? If not, does their language?

[Elfarion]

Regarding only mainline, the answer is no to both questions. I can't talk about UMC though.

1. Have any words in the Dwarvish language been shown so far?

Uhm, no. The dwarves speak English like all the races, but there is a significant use of contractive words.

2. Does the Dwarves' runic alphabet have a name? If not, does their language?

If I recall the novel Stone Remembers (have a read at it - it's quite intriguing), the runes are considered to be the language of their 'ancients.'

There is more to it, really. Since people decided it was a convenient stylistic choice for writing campaigns, they tend to speak in the Scots dialect of English. If they have a native language, it just hasn’t been portrayed in mainline yet (same applies to Wesnothians, elves, etc.) beyond given names.

The runic alphabet is called Elder Futhark in real life. I don't know if there's a name for it in-game.

Ah, I see, thanks!

Well, of course, but I imagine they have their own language in-universe, in which names like Knalga and Kal Kartha have a meaning.

I'll take a look

In Norse mythology, Dvalin was the one who first taught runes to other dwarves. As such, one idea would be to call it the "Dvalic Alphabet", or "Dvalic Runes". I know Wesnoth is not Norse mythology, but inspiration could be taken from it.
