Gutterspeak

Gutterspeak isn't a language but what happens to a language that becomes bastardized by the goblinoid races - Goblins, Orcs, Hobgoblins and many more. These races do not have their own language and use whatever is spoken in the region. Someone learning Gutterspeak from an orc tribe in north Sailan will not be to understand what the orcs south of the continent speak, as their Saiyuyan language was bastardized differently. So, someone who learns Gutterspeak is mostly learning how these monstrous races use language, how they change parts to fit them, and use that knowledge to try to understand or talk to them. All they have to do is know the language of the region that was bastardized (most of the time it is Archan so it's easy to translate) and spend some time listening to the creatures to have the basic know-how to translate simple phrases. For more complex conversations, hours, days or even weeks are needed before someone could fully understand a tribe's Gutterspeak.
