About Gnomish
Gnomes are shorter and either, are often "plumper" (less fit) and/or more slender than their Dwarf cousins. They use the Dwarven script for writing (they developed a cursive version of it). Gnomes (other than Dark Gnomes) speak a lingua franca, called gnomres "Gnomish" which is OVS with adjectives coming after nouns.
