I swear I once read somewhere that Dwarves had developed a language, like Morse Code, that they could use to talk to each other while mining in different shafts or whatever, but a quick glance through the Dwarf language section and skill section and PrC section (thought it was in a sidebar) of Races of Stone failed to find it, albeit I might've failed a Spot check. Does anyone know where this reference can be found? I'm starting to wonder if it was in some 3rd party material, like Quintessential Dwarf or something.

It's definitely something from a third party book or possibly from a different edition of D&D.

Perhaps this is a memory of that 80s TV series of Beauty and the Beast?

From a world of warcraft website..

"Grundlid - "Hammertongue:" A secret language known by miners and engineers consisting of numbered and timed taps on a hard surface. Similar to morse-code"

Ok discovered something else: Hammertalk, from Dragonlance Campaign Setting, page 12. So there is a version from a WotC book after all.
