D&D 5E Just a thought on languages...

[ThunderDM]

Why on earth is the language of goblins not called Gobbledygook? Who WOULDN'T want to learn a language named that? I'd speak it all day if it existed!

To the best of my knowledge, that name for the language only goes back as far as Harry Potter, so any attempts to copy it directly would be met with criticism. Blatantly stealing concepts and specific names fell out of fashion in the mid-nineties.

Sure but not coming up with it in the 70s was clearly a failure by Gygax

Also just for reference:

I agree, goblins should speak Gobbledygook.

Plus, its fun to say the word.. "Gobbledygook".

Gobbledygook, gobbledygook! Lol

If a non-roleplayer stumbled upon this forum, they'd think we're all fluent in Gobbledegook.
