The traditional language of the dwarves of Noefra. Extremely slow to change, written Tumni records from millennia ago are still nearly perfectly understandable by modern speakers. The spoken form has borrowed words from other languages, but not very many (preferring to create set phrases to describe the thing in question). Tumni is quite verbose with an emphasis on precision of description.

Script

Tumni uses the Runic script, an alphabetic (but highly non-phonetic) script.

Real Life Analogue

Mongolian

Language Family

Giantish. It's related to the Too-til, the language spoken by most Noefran jazuu as well as most giant-kin.
