Speaking people
Its says all speaking people left middle earth to make way for the dominian of men. Elves went to the west but where did dwarves go? Where did everyone else go?

I just imagined them to continue liveing in their mines and mountains but im not entirely sure. The only Dwarf that went west, as far as i know, was Gimli who went there with Legolas.

I do not think, isatri, that it was said that they all left to make way for Men's dominion. After all, JRR Tolkien says in "Concerning Hobbits" that hobbits are still alive in our world, and although they have diminished and will not bear to be seen or head by the Big People, they have not left. If it was the case that all the speaking peoples of Middle Earth did eventually depart, I would imagine that the Dwarves too would go to Valinor and there reside in the Halls of Aule until the Last Battle.

I think the Dwarves diminished in the same way as the Hobbits. It was only when they died, that they went to the halls of Aulë, their maker.

The dwarves didn't go to Valinor, but eventually died out, possible due to the lack of dwarf women.

This is a HYPOTHESIS. An educated guess. now, you can disagree or agree for that matter but, let me just type this out.
I think by what i've read in the encyclopedia of Arda (i think i've read it there or somewhere) It says that hobbits could possilby have moved to some part of the Isle of Man due to a myth in that region. The myth speaks about short men who have particularlly large hairy feet and enjoy wine. very much. Idon't know if the Encyclopedia of Arda is correct but, it sounds close to me.

The Dwarves are still among us. If you don't believe me, then go check out the guys hanging around the boiler room. Most of the engineers on my first ship were short men with beards who enjoyed tinkering around with machinery in the depths of the ship. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] P.S. Thye also carried hammers and oily rags [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
