Hi
English is not my native language so I have some problems with dwarf's dialect. If you Can be so kind and give me some directions and lots of samples of it I'll be most hapy.
thank you

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently. "

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between dog and man.

Well, here's a few tips to start:
Gorr is the most commonly used greeting.
drop the g on any word that ends with -ing and replace it with a '. Talking would be typed as Talkin'. I use -in's for words that would end in [/i]-ings[/i], like blessin's.
Use nae instead of just about any negative word.
Examples: I have nae seen ya around lately.
I am nae tree-huggin' elf!
Related: Use donae for do not and dinnae for did not.
Generally, I use ya instead of you.
These would be some good "rules" to start with, but I've always played my dwarf as having a "softer" accent than many others out there, so hopefully Stormhammer or some of the others will add their own opions to this.
EDIT: Oh yeah, gudein rois is commonly used as goodbye. Also, it's acceptable to refer to other dwarves as cousin, since they tend to look at other dwarves as part of an extended clan.
