Glossary Outline
As I create the world of Dolg, I have used various real world languages to help name and give distinct flavor. The problem with this, as both my sons constantly point out; I am dyslectic and pronouncing foreign languages is a stuttering mess for me. Within my notes I make attempts to rewrite foreign words to remind me how they actually sound, rather than using whatever Google Translate says is the correct spelling. Unfortunately, my notes and the glossary I have is inconsistent. Some notes have the proper spelling of words from Google, while others are my phonetic interpretation. I am a flawed ignorant being, This glossary is an attempt to fix that, while complicating some of it. -Phlophouse.

Glossary Setup
This glossary is setup into four parts:
- The Word: is the word that the setting uses specifically for something, typically a name. It will be listed alphabetically in order to all the other words I am using. It will be in Bold. For consistency it will be the Google Translate version (if i still have it in my notes).
- Following the word, will be an italic form of my attempt to say it in English.
- Word origin: [in these green brackets]: I will list the language that I took it from and that's language translated word(s).
- Setting: afterwards in purple A description what it represents within the setting. If there is black text following, then this represents game mechanics that can be used to for heroes, NPCs, or plot.
