Right!

Un-truce? Clever vengence? That is a weird interpretation...

Yes!
The author of some Eberron books, Don Bassingthwaite, who wrote a couple novels in the setting, along with Baker, did some proper goblin language stuff!
I had only seen that level of attention on a d&d thing with the 3.5e draconomicon, previously.
(James Wyatt who wrote on the draconomicon does at least one Eberron novel trilogy as well! Good stuff.)
I only discovered their goblin language section in the past few years! I am so happy they at least did that much for the goblins!
@goblingua I remember the Draconic glossary from Draconomicon, yeah :) Put that to good use at one point.
I was paging through the Darguun section looking for enough details to make flavor text for the Goblin, Bugbear and Hobgoblin racial traits I've cooked up. But now I can tell I'm going to need to set aside some time to read it through. I'm totally in favor of giving goblinoids all the validity as races in fantasy gaming & fiction that humans/elves/dwarves get (and likewise orcs).
There was a project that did a youtube video series that made an orcish language! They had adding words to the language as funding incentives I think? That sounds like a terrifying way to build a language... I hope geblin's proposed dialects system can make the modularity of peoples' word making styles a little more capable of selection-per-creator.
Still! The orcish language they made seems neat, and I am sure boasts a decent word count. I don't remember what that series was called...
Also I will absolutely put in work with you for you to use any of the letters for geblin, sylvin, etc. for your campaign stuff. If you want to dive deep in a weird goblin way, I will put in some time to help make that happen.
@goblingua I may just take you up on that :) It comes down to if any player decides to play a goblinoid, or if the final disposition of PC backstories makes Darguun or Droaam suitable adventuring terrain. When I finally get around to running a game if goblinoid culture will factor in I'll let you know :)
(My problem is I enjoy the DM meta of homebrewing and worldbuilding more than actually running games so I keep thinking of new things to brew/build before I finally try to get a game going.)
Worldbuilding is a wonderful perspective for motivation and interest!
If you build and customize things, you are likewise emminently qualified to cover the material, as it exists in its new arrangement exclusively in your ram.
That would be awesome if one or more your players chose goblinoids!
I could help with trying to integrate one or more of the scripts with that EE section on Eberron's goblin words and stuff too, for like puzzle handouts or whatever.
Or geblin words, depending on your interest! If it comes up.
Keep scheming on Eberron stuff, if you love it! Really interesting stuff.
Aw thank you!
I am trying to get more materials together, so these scripts and more, and a goblin language, can be released all open source, for anyone to use on their projects of whatever scale!
