Anyone know where to find languages for PF/DnD?

Was curious if there was a site or anywhere that had compiled any "dictionaries" for the major languages of the fantasy realms?

More specifically Goblin, Orc, Dwarven and druidic?

The 'Races of' series of books has a short section in each chapter on the language of that chapter's fantasy race. While it doesn't get to full out dictionary levels, it does have a few phrases the authors thought would be useful. However, the only language they touch upon that you wish to see is Dwarven. Much to the sadness of everyone who wanted to see Goblinoids get something nice from WotC.

Then there is Draconic, which they went full speed ahead on in Races of the Dragon. While they made it a very simple language and only had a list of what they called 'often used' words, it's a lot more that was officially done for any other language. I guess that's what you get for your race being half of the name of the game.

I can't tell you if Paizo has done anything of the sort, though.

Look into the language groups option in the gm menus. Awesome set up.
