I wanted to play a Goblin without being an annoying little b!+#*, and I realized the most effective way is language. The only goblin word I know of is "longshank" for the bigger races. What are other common goblin words?
I think he’s more after Golarion than Eberron.
I personally started playing a Goblin and for me the key was culture difference. As a newly integrated (well, mostly integrated) goblin, I occasionally pipe up suggestions or questions that might sound bizarre or slightly-evilish (but mean well), trying to inject some of the scavenger / ambusher / tribal lifestyle in it.
It works, and I don’t need too much of a vocabulary.
...longshanks do speak weird however. They silly.

Fair, but sometimes you go with what you CAN find.
Enjoy!
Steve is speaking to longshanks! Not other goblins! Longshanks no understand steve when talks to other goblins!

Longshanks = mediums sized humanoids
Stompydeath = angry horse
Snarltooth = dog/wolf
just take basic descriptors of objects or people and slap them together
I.E. a barn would be described as big wooden walls with red paint, so perhaps something along the lines of "Big wood. full of stompydeath. nasty place"

Personally I look forward to roleplaying an Int 18 goblin wizard who speaks fluent Common and finds the rest of his people hopelessly backwards... but still gets a little jumpy around horses and dogs. :)

One of my players brought along a high int blatantly CE blackfingers-worshipping goblin alchemist, who still speaks in gibberish and is somehow a functional and likeable party member.
