Some everyday phrases for dwarves...

 

 

‘Th’ and ‘dh’ are not the English ’th’ but rather a ‘t’ or ‘d’ followed by a noticeable ‘h’... the same goes for ‘kh’, and ‘gh’, whereas ‘sh’ is like the english ‘sh’, and ‘zh’ is voiced like the french ‘garage’ and ‘ch’ sounds like the ch in ‘chance’, j like ‘jean’
