Goblin

The language of the goblins is said to be spoken through the nose, it sounds shrill and unpleasant to human ears. The Goblin language has no formal written form, although some write using alphabets of other languages. Goblins themselves would insist that literacy is for those with failing memories and feeble minds.
The Goblins have an oral tradition of passing down lore and history from one generation to the next, shamans and elders tend to be vast repositories of knowledge.
