Pygmy (language)
Last wiki revision 2018-09-13
Pygmy is the presumed main language of the pygmies.
There was once a great leader of the pygmies whose name translates as "Dark Tan Helmet". The titan symbols covering the Ornate Tablet Fragments are noted to be far too elaborate for pygmy scrawl.

The pygmy language may or may not be related to the goblin language, given that goblins and pygmies are said to share an unknown common ancestor.
- "Gobin" = "Goblin"
- Aside from the obvious similarities of the two words (the pygmy word only lacking a single "l"), Yngwie says say when aggroed by goblin players, and many of the phrases he yell out seem to be orders to kill, capture and/or sacrifice the captured inhabitants of the Town-In-A-Box.
- Nord = "North"
- Ost = "East"
- Sor = "South"
