True, that is one reason Tolkien used to keep the history and all other knowledge of the Dwarves hush, hush. There isn't nearly as much about the dwarven tongue out there as there is about any of the elven tongues.

Here is a link to the encyclopedia of arda that, well basically says the same thing. http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/default...k/khuzdul.html

Many people however just pronounce the the accents in the same ways you would when speaking in an elfin tongue. In that case, this link should be of some help. http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/misc/local/T...pronguide.html

In my personal opinion, dwarvish should sound like a bit of a cross-breed between Klingon and German.

I hope I was of some help.
