The goblin language, also known as Ghukliak, was the language spoken by goblins,[1] hobgoblins, and bugbears. It originally used the Dethek script,[2] but by the late 15th century, goblinoids had begun using the Thorass alphabet instead.[3]
Phonology[]
The goblin tongue was a guttural one with much grunting and whimpering noises.[4]

Background[]
- In Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, one scenario refers to Ghukliak written in Davek runes. This is considered an error. Davek is an alphabet used in a different Wizards of the Coast setting.[5]
