The Dwarfs are extremely proud of their native
tongue, and they rarely speak in the company of other races, almost never
teaching it to other creatures. To humans it is known as the ‘secret tongue of
the Duardin’, sometimes overheard but never understood. The Dwarf language
includes very few words of obvious Elven or Human origin. By contrast there are
many loan words from Khazalid in the tongues of Men, which suggest that Dwarfs
must have taught some fundamental words to their taller allies. This is most
obviously the case of words pertaining to traditional Dwarven craftskills of
smithing and masonry, skills which Dwarfs taught Men many centuries ago.

The grammatical structure of Khazalid can be very
difficult for outsiders to glean. Khazalid usually places the verb before the
subject in a sentence, however the way a word is pronounced or stressed can
often determine what the user of  the word thinks of the word. For
instance, war is usually thought of as badly, a harsh tone is used. Some words
are deemed more important than others.

Khazalid has few individual words relating to
abstract concepts, and most abstract concepts are described in relation to
something physical, often using the same word as what they relate to.

Most Dwarf words are formed from a short root word,
for instance Kar (meaning "big stone") and a signifier, for instance
-az (meaning the word it is attached to is relating to a place): so Karaz
literally means "big stone place": however it is also the Khazalid
word for mountain. Signifiers are not limited to one either; adding -i
signifies a race or profession, so Karazi means a mountain-tribe (literally
"big stone place people").

Often Dwarves find themselves (such as while mining
or travelling) without paper or writing implements and must scratch runes into
hard surfaces where it is much more efficient to scribe hard angles and lines
than curves. This led to the development of a simpler set of runes called the
Klinkarun (literally "chisel-runes") from Klinka: chisel and rhun:
runes. (Note the "h" is dropped).

Khazalid vowel sounds in particular are
uncompromisingly precise and very many Dwarf root words begin with harsh
consonant sounds such as K, G and R.

Contrary to humans, whose myriad dialects differ
widely depending on geographic location-- even within the same language-- the
Dwarfs remain fairly consistent in accent, sometimes described a Scottish
accent.

The Games Workshop website uses a similar exampleto this:

Tense and plurals

Root words are in present and therefore need no
change but -ad in the future tense and - ed for past.

The various tense signifiers are as follows:

Add az for plural

Skad: Steal.

Sked: stolen

Skat: (will) steal

Vorn: Farm (verb)                         Vornarn: farmland                      Vornazi: Farmers

Vorni: Farmer                                 Vornarnaz:
farmlands
