The Goblin Language is spoken by Goblins, Hobgoblins, Bugbears, and other Goblinoid races of Krynn. The language to outsiders appears to be simple grunts but it is a complex language involving not just words but pauses, intakes of breath, and gestures. It does not have its own alphabet, but sometimes the Ogre Language alphabet is used.
