I think german is a proper dwarfy language. Especially if you really roll the R's.
Of course, thet would make us all sound like Hitler.
All Germans are not Hitler! I should know, I'm approximately half-German!
Wait, we are WORSE than Hitler?
New objective, revive Hitler and have him be our janitor.
We'll need to describe it as "the punishment he could not get in life," of course, or else we look like monsters. As head of P.E.A.C.E, you should know that.
That, or have all colonists take a mandatory vow of silence, and attempt to communicate with one another solely by facial expressions.
What in the case of emergency? If we get attacked I doubt we'll be able to warn other colonies about it with our face over the phone.
Edit: I vote we use german.
In seriousness, I advise English. Everyone here speaks it fairly well, but not everyone can so much as manage "Nein sprechenze Duetch!" Which means something like "No speak German!", for those of you who speak less German than I do.
Dwarves have Scottish accents, right? What about Scottish? Though Dwarves are originaly from German mythology, and German sound more dwarfy....
Scots speak English, so...sure. (In case it matters, part of my non-German blood is Scottish. I'm a regular American mutt, kind of.)
German all the way, but i also believe we must develop some sort of code for our documents, Prehaps a mix of the languages from DF, except for elvish.
No, we must use PURE elvish. They will never expect that we use elvish.
I hate you so much right now.
That's why they'll never suspect it!
How will we speak to many at once? It would be terribly confusing to turn around, make a face, turn around again, make a face, turn BACK, make a face, go into a room and make a face, come back. It would be near-impossible to speak to many people at once. And in a workplace this would be terrible.
Can we just scrap the idea of face lauguage? We have vocal cords for a reason.
This. seriously, monkies use vocal language, birds use vocal language, bugs do, frogs do,
fish vocalize...
