Language: Orcish: Words and Phrases
Here you will find my list of words/phrases for the Aenean orcish language. This is for adding depth to items/areas/creatures in the game, rather than creating an actual language, so most syntax rules can be ignored. The goal is not to create an entire language, nor is it to use existing languages.
Orcish is a rough-sounding, harsh language. Think of orcish society kind of like an evil, chaotic version of Klingon society (in Star Trek: TNG), but without any of that time wasted worrying about honor. Most words or phrases are 1 to 3 syllables. Orcs in Aenea are just as intelligent as humans...they're just more evil and are a warrior/strength-centered culture that looks down on physical weakness.
