But the gnomish language is difficult to learn by others, due to how it’s constructed for gnomish biology — gnomes are usually shown with large noses and described as speaking fast without breaks, so their language might not be tailored with the pauses/stops that ours are and thus be difficult to learn at even a basic level. Other races lack the diaphragms and nasal architecture that gnomes happen to have (and take advantage of in their language); this is reflected in a small race’s Con bonus. As such, few non-gnomes can communicate the established language of math/engineering that generations of gnomes have worked with.</p></blockquote><p></p>
