==Orcish== ''Orcs have a great facility for language. Their own tongue features exotic and complex sounds that only they are able to pronounce despite their protruding lower tusks. The orc language reflects orc culture in that it is strictly tiered and intensely direct. The language has vocabulary and syntax that allows each social level to speak with absolute deference to the levels above, and absolute authority to the ones below. Orc linguistic ability has allowed many orc soldiers to learn Old Dwarven, High Elven, and Norther, and now in the conquered lands they are quickly learning the other fey and human tongues. Though some dwarves, elves, and Dorns are able to speak Orcish, their command of the language is poor and childlike in comparison to the typical orc’s fluency in other races’ tongues.'' <br> * '''Albai''': Elf, elves. * '''Bug''': Log. * '''Bûrz''': Dark. * '''Dur''': Great, large, mighty. * '''Gaakh''': Let it be so; may it be so. * '''Gazat''': Dwarf, dwarves. * '''Golug''': Elf, elves (slang.) * '''Grub''': Bag, sack. * '''Krank''': Father. * '''Kranklob''': Mother. * '''Krumnaakh''': Clumsy. * '''Naak''': Heavy. * '''Nûrzum''': Dragon (literally 'wrath', of which a Dragon is the embodiment.) * '''Loik-Throquûrz''': Fell (literally 'hungry corpse'.) * '''Zaanûrz''': Loud-mouthed. <br>
