For roleplay reasons, people sometimes include some words from their racial language in their conversations, stories, etc. Drow and Tel'Mithrim are some examples.
What do you use, for your racial language source?

self taught
As a speaker of RL 3 languages, I have noted extreme variations in language use, pronunciation, intonation and spelling every 200kms of distance. Slang and other comon verbatim are always different and unique to regions, as with customs. A certain family speaks a certain way either through heritage, education or peers (environment). I dont use anything for a source when i switch to a form of English I 'Elvenate'. I like to type what ever i think may be elvish in sound.. your mood affects intonation, and harshenss of vowels, consanents. i love uniqueness, and have many 'elvish' dialogues with people in which noone used the same spelling. throw your books to the trash. it's you. not the book. besides.. how many dwarven warriors went to school? a barbarian warrior saying Fantabulous? i doubt it.

Umm...actually in most clans all dwarves are schooled until 23 years of age, when they reach their "teen" years. Then they are apprenticed into their future jobs until they're done with their training.
Not a whole lot has been said about Clan Duergar unfortunately, mainly because it was such a poorly thought out idea from TSR that has a lot of potential. I'd guess as far as schooling goes Duergar would be about the same..maybe a bit less time since because of where they live they need their young to reach adulthood a bit more swiftly. That's just a guess though.
