The Rise of Sauron
The Rise of the Dark Lord of Middle Earth Sauron
The Black Speech Dictionary


BLACK SPEECH ORIGINS


The orcs were first bred by the Dark Power of the North in the Elder Days. It is said that they had no language of their own, but took what they could of other toungues and perverted it to their own liking, yet they made only brutal jargons, scarecely sufficient even for their own needs, unless it were for curses and abuse.

This definition and along with some work by some linguists produced after some time and hard work an actual dictionary of Black Speech terms. You will find this dictionary online here for your use. The source where I found the dictionary is provided in the sources section of this object.

SPECIAL HANDLERS


These may be a little difficult to weed through, but I've tried to give examples where I thought people would be confused.

-at verb infinitive Example: Krimp-at
-hai people (collective plural)
-i noun plural after consonant Example: Bagronk-i
-ishi in (case suffix)
-ob of (case suffix)
-u noun plural after consonant
-ub- verb future tense suffix
-ug verb present active participle
-uga verb past passive participle
-uuk all
-ul them
-um -ness, -yness
-uur for (case suffix)
-uurz a common adjective-forming suffix
-z noun plural after vowel
a- prefixed to an interrogative makes it into a relative



Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.

When translated into English, these words form the lines:

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
