Undercommon

Undercommon is a term used to refer to a group of Dwarvish-influenced creole languages of the Underdark. They are all based on a substratum of Dwarvish, with various ethnic words, phrases, and grammar grafted in. There is a wide variety in the language, existing on a spectrum from proper Dwarvish serving as a sort of acrolect to a number of divergent basilects.
