The gnomish language is also known as Gnim^[1].

Gnim has a simple structure and fluid tones. Most gnomes have a truly daunting vocabulary, however, with extremely fine degrees of distinction in, for example, kinds of love or shades of green. Their language is thus ideal for academic, artistic, and engineering pursuits, and it is widely used in academic circles even among other races. Many sages of many races consider Gnim to be a "scholar's language."^[2]

Gnim utilizes an adapted version of the Dethek alphabet^[3], and gnomish writings and literature covers a staggering variety of topics. ^[2]
