Orcish was a collection of tribal dialects spoken among the Orcs. While the eldest Orcish tongues derived from the language of Angband and Melkorin of Utumno, later Orcish was largely influenced by the Black Speech of Mordor. Other tribal dialects, however, might be closer to Westron or the tongues of the Northrons, Easterlings and Haradrim.

  • Orcs rely on context, repetition and volume to add emphasis or meaning. (HPG 134) There are many orc dialects, examples include one spoken by the majority of the Horde, and another by orcs living near Durnholde. (LoC 27) Even separate tribes had variations of dialect that differed so much that orcs could not understand each other unless they spoke the common tongue. (RotH 21) The main form of the Orcish language used by all the tribes is known as common Orcish.

  • Orcish was the language of Orcs. It was spoken by all orcs through the existence of the entire race.
  • The Orcish are by far the most brutal, savage, and war-like race on the continent. From the perspective of anyone who tries to rule them, of course. In reality, the Orcish possess a very complex culture and history, and their language is unlike any in the continent, or perhaps even the world. Orcs have almost no sense of gender. In fact, women often fight alongside the men, unless they are pregnant. However, there are cases reported of Orcish women having given brith on the battlefield, and they simply picked up the child and kept fighting. The accuracy of these reports, however, is questioned.

  • The Orcish are by far the most brutal, savage, and war-like race on the continent. From the perspective of anyone who tries to rule them, of course. In reality, the Orcish possess a very complex culture and history, and their language is unlike any in the continent, or perhaps even the world. The Orcish believe in a form of Shamanism known as Mukrozang, which translates to, in the Orcish language, "Blood-Mother Rule." Mukrozang has several rules that are directly against allowing anyone other than the Shamans of the religion, all of whom are female, called the Mukroz, or Blood-mothers, and dictate everything that occurs within the tightly-knit groups of the Orcs, known as Strongholds, or, in the Orcish language, Bulvaki. The Orcish live in three major Tribes, and these three Tribes are divided up into around ten Clans each. The three major Tribes are: the Hammitr, the Telletr, and the Dothtr Tribes. Every tribe follows roughly the same practices, though they are far apart, with the Dothtr in the Eastern region, the Hammitr from the Central region, and the Telletr, from the Northern region. The Orcish culture is entirely centered around fighting, with young Orcs, be they male or female, training with staves and wooden swords by age five, and by age ten, learning how to fight with live steel. By sexual maturity, around age 15, the Orcs are given their first weapon, one of their choosing, and they are instructed in the art of metal-smithing. There is a saying in the Central region about the Orcs: "The Dwarfs make the best weapons, but are afraid to use them. The Orcs make fair weapons, and are all too happy to use them. That is why we fear Orcish steel, and not Dwarfish." Orcs have almost no sense of gender. In fact, women often fight alongside the men, unless they are pregnant. However, there are cases reported of Orcish women having given brith on the battlefield, and they simply picked up the child and kept fighting. The accuracy of these reports, however, is questioned.
