Vetinari, in turn, denies speaking the language at all but again appears to be quite capable of understanding and being understood, again all in standard font - probably \\\'\\\'RuleOfCool\\\'\\\', in his case. Colon then rounds off the whole routone by what amounts to a bilingual pun, by which he is thought to come from the city of Ur, apparently a byword for bucolic stupidity in Klatch.
Partly because I\\\'m not really sure the \\\'\\\'absence\\\'\\\' of a ForeignLookingFont in this scene is relevent to the trope, but mostly because it\\\'s firmy established right at the start that because this is an international caravanesi with people from various Klatchian countries with different languages, they all [[SwitchToEnglish speak Morporkian, and wouldn\\\'t find anything odd in a group of entertainers doing so]].
