ObADOM: has anyone ever wondered why the goblins, orcs, hurthlings,
and other beings capable of using language all speak the same Common
language?  We almost never see traces of any other language in ADOM.

Honestly, it had never occured to me to wonder.  I think it's just one
of those in-game conceits, although the goblins do scream in partial
German sometimes.

I just checked it, they say "Wo is' der Sssaattsss?" meaning "Where is
the preciousssss?"
Gollum, gollum!
