    I duckduckwent for underdark and undercommon but I still don’t understand what this meme is insinuating.

        I’m learning German so I can pretend to be German, in Thailand!

      There’s a (very fun) book series “The Legend of Drizzt”. (Also “The Forgotten Realms” Dungeons and Dragons source books.)

      The Underdark leaves much to the reader’s imagination…but we can safely assume the man in the third panel doesn’t mind subjugation.

    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.
