1. The Kubwa Khazad speak a complex creol-language. Imagine Khuzdul, completely filled in and restructured with Hebrew, and then heavily peppered with various Bantu languages, Arabic, Amharic, Somalian, Ladino, Farsi and more. Their script is something I am currently working on. Imagine a blocky, runic, almost Art Deco font of Hebrew, with no curved lines, and some letters being switched out with Arabic and Amharic characters (addapted to the same font). My primary inspirations for the Kubwa Khazad were "hey, I want to see African Dwarves", along with "dammit, Dwarves are supposed to be Jews, not Vikings".

2. The Manuwaith speak another composite language. Imagine a mix of Tetum, Māori, Taino and Japanese, all addapted to a parrot's accent and vocal complex. BTW, the Manuwaith talk very fast, and have a heavily accented, almost Papuan accent in both Westron and their native language, but contrary to popular belief, their voices are just as low as a Human's. Their script is an Abjadic, language-appropriate addaption of Hiragana.

3. The Misrana language is a creol that matches the ethnic and cultural makeup of Ka'ax Toliath, so you can imagine what it is. Their script is an Abjadic addaption of Classical Balinese, and is notoriously ornate.

4. The Tithendar language is a mix of archaic Elvish, Okinawan, Taino and various Micronesian languages. As you can imagine, there's a bit of mutual-intelligibility between Manuwaith and Misrana, and Misrana and Tithendar, but very little between Manuwaith and Tithendar. The Tithendar writing situation is, in my oppinion, the most interesting out of all of them. You know how the Japanese use Kanji, Katakana and Hiragana depending? Well, the Tithendar do the same, but, instead of Hiragana (which is reserved for the Manuwaith), they use Sarati.

All of these go from Right to Left, and can be both horizontal and verticle.
