The Orcish tongue may fall unpleasingly 'pon the ear, yet it
has within it a complex grammar
of misunderstood by those who merely hear the few broken words of English our
orcish
brothers manage without education.
These are the basic rules of orcish:
Orcish has five tenses: present, past, future imperfect, present
interjectional, and prehensile.
Examples: gugroflu, gugrofloog, gugrobo, gugrolu!, gugrogug.
All transitive verbs in the prehensile tense end it "ug."
Examples: urgleighug, biggugdaghgug, curdakalmug.
All present interjectional conjugations start with the letter
G unless the(y) contain the third
declensive accent of the letter U.
Examples: ghothudunglug, but n azhbuugub.
The past tense can only refer to events since the last meal, but
the prehensile tense can refer
to any event within reach.
The present tense is conjugated like the future imperfect tense,
when the interrogative mode
is used by pitching the sound a quarter-tone higher.
Orcish hath no concept of person, as in first person, third person, I, we, etc.
Orcish grammar relies upon the three cardinal rules of accretion,
prefixing, and agglutination
, in addition to pitch. In the former, phonemes combine into larger words which
may contain
full phrasal significance. In the second, prefixing specific phonetic sounds
changes the subject
of the sentence into object, interrogative, addressed individual, or dinner.
Agglutination occurs whenever four of the same letter are present
in a word, in which case,
any two of them may be removed or slurred.
Pitch changes the phoneme value of individual syllables, thus
completely altering what a word
may mean.
The classic example if "Aktgluthugrot bigglogubuu dargilgaglug lublublub(")
which can mean
"You are such a pretty girl," "My mother ate your primroses," or "Jellyfish
nose paints alms
potato," depending on pitch.
Orcish poetry often relies upon repeating the same phrase in multiple
pitches, eve(n) changing
pitch midword. None of this great are is translatable.
The orcish language uses the following vowels: ab, ad, ag, akt,
at, augh, auh, azh, e, i, o, oo, u
, uu. The vowel sound a is not recognized as a vowel and does not exist in their
alphabet. The
orcish alphabet i(s) best learned using th(e) classic rhyme repeated at 23 different
pitchs:
Lugnog ghu blat suggaroglug. Gaghbuu dakdar ab highugbo, Gothnogbuim ad gilgubbugbuilug
Bilgeaugh thurggulg stuiggro
A translation of the first pitch:
Eat food, the first letter is ab, Kill people, the next lette(r) is ad, I forget
the rest But augh is in
there somewhere!
What follows is a complete phonetic library of the orcish language:
