What do you mean fluent?

Fluent is how well one speaks/understands a language.

The Dwarvish language is generally secret - the dwarves did not speak it outside of their race, except for a few proper nouns - Khazad-dūm, Barazinbar, Bundushathūr, Zirakzigil, Azanulbizar, Azaghāl, etc.

Entish is a lot different from the languages we're familiar with...

Quote:
Hoom, hm; hoom, hm, how did it go? Room tum, room tum, roomty toom tum. It was a long list.
Quote:
A great hoom, hom rang out like a deep-throated horn in the woods, and seemed to echo from the trees. Far off there came from several directions a similar hoom, hom, hoom that was not an echo but an answer.
Quote:
We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom!
We come, we come with horn and drum: ta-rūna rūna rūna rom!
Some other words: burįrum, morimaite - sincahonda, ra-hoom-rah.

It takes a long time to say anything in Entish. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
