Editing Dwarfs (Warhammer Fantasy) (section)

==Khazalid==
The language of the Dwarfs. Actually the single most elaborated on language in Warhammer (very extensively) despite the lore saying little is known of it due to Dwarfs (usually, looking at you here [[Vermintide|Bardin]]) not speaking it outside their own kind (This is taken from Tolkien, where the Dwarven language of Khuzdul was kept secret from outsiders, to the point that they wouldn't even use their given names in the presence of non-Dwarves). Even beyond that, the language of the Dwarfs is highly complicated and relies more on background knowledge than literal translation; as such, a literal translation of a Dwarf's name may be "Alebelly Cragfist" as given to humans, with the name Gorogbolg Karazdrung translating to a Dwarf into ''"Highly respectable and Noble Dawi of considerable craft, wealth and means, whose clan elder once hammered through rock with his bare fists to save his clan from drowning, whilst simultaneously discovering a new, rich seam of gold."'' Its lexicon is a bit punny, though not to the level of utter farce.

Khazalid is written in runes, which as previously mentioned are magic and can be made even more magical by Runesmiths.

Not surprisingly the Chaos Dwarfs speak a variant of Khazalid. In Total War Warhammer III, they speak in this exclusively unlike the regular Dwarfs. Probably because they are a bunch of insular xenophobic jerks who think themselves better than everyone else.
