Then why don't minotaurs speak it? :D

Why is the  Is the monster  Version a large creature but the player version a medium?  any one know why.

 The playable race is in the Ravnica book. I guess Ravnican minotaurs are smaller than the ones created by Baphomet in other D&D worlds, along with their other differences.

Minotaurs are the dark descendants of humanoids transformed by the rituals of cults that reject the oppression of authority by returning to nature. 

are u telling me these guys literally rejected industrial society and returned to monke minotaur?!

Can you have a playable Minotaur ? 

  One of my party is a Minotaur Barbarian, so, yes, you can. 

I was thinking about putting them against some low level characters... and then I saw the strength stat.

Because they were made by a demon lord

They're also in the semi-official plane shifts, but they're just reskinned half orcs

i have a minotaur who knows curse magic (acursed) and hes awesome. everywhere he walks there is a family of vultures following him. people sees this and the fact that hes a minotaur and it creates one of the most terrifying dnd charecters ive ever played. he can also do black fire magic. overall bloodthirsty sycopaths with dark magic is so scary and so cool and so fun to roleplay. do recomend playing a minotaur.

I mean there's a language called minotaur.

 And apparently there's no point in learning it, because nobody speaks it.

Yes, You can. But i think only in irl ones, i dont think you can play as a minotaur online.

update, you can

This really hits like a horse! I had it against 3 level 2  PC's (2 rangers and a wizard) on a large room. It came charging, proned one ranger than crit'd the other ranger. Knocked the whole party down. There was a bit of unluck with the crit, but it's more of a 4.5 CR creature I would say. Spells help. 

I'm preparing a deadly encounter of 4 minotaur raiders.  I'm merging the concept of playable/monster minotaur so there could be conversation as these minotaurs are wanting to raid/steal/pillage the group.  The party consists of three level 4 and one level 5.  These minotaurs will easily wipe the party, but they have befriended and traveling with a young gold dragon who will also help in the fight.  I'm excited to see them initiate a fight, they struggle to survive while the dragon clears the field or potentially dies itself.  I just love the drama of D&D

if you wanted a stronger stat block there's the goristro, https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/17156-goristro, a big demon minotaur.

This is correct.

Yes but the Minotaurs of Ravinca speak that. The normal minotaurs of Forgotten Realms are demonic in nature. They are directly related to baphomet, a demon lord of the abyss. They crave carnage, violence, and gore. The ones from Ravinca are a race of bull-like humanoids. Completely separate types of minotaurs. In my custom world/ campaign they both exist simultaneously. The ones from the Eastern continent (land of elves, humans, etc) are the kind from Ravinca, where as the Baphomet worshiping monstrous minotaurs are from the west (land of orcs, hobgoblins, all manners of evil beasts and monsters).

Lazy writing.

Yes, Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse gives you access to a playable Minotaur.
