    Maybe the top one is half-elven and grew up among non-elven races, but I have never heard of canon half-dwarves (assuming that the beard is intended to signify that he’s a dwarf). Why would an adult dwarf need to learn dwarvish? Especially in the context of a meme like this, a dwarf who can’t speak dwarvish would be an outlier and that doesn’t make sense in the context of an ad.

      I’m playing a campaign where there’s an older version of dwarvish (Stonetongue) and a new version (Leadtongue), so my character is learning the older version to translate old ruins and stuff found in them

        Makes sense. If we’re being slightly more realistic than typical D&D worldbuilding, there’s no way there wouldn’t be regional variantions in dwarven language.

      You are making a ridiculous amount of assumptions that are either flat out wrong or so wild you have nothing to base it off of anyway. Moreover, it is a meme. Really not worth this level of analyzing.
