Orcish, known to speakers as Uk'thul, is a simple and very direct language, spoken on battlefields over the din of slaughter.

When spoken, Orcish sounds like a series of grunts and growls, interspersed with sharp, explosive syllables. It's a language born of battle and brutality, reflecting the violent history of its speakers.

Orcish makes use of short, choppy vowels, heavy consonants and glottal stops. A preponderance of hard consonants like 'k', 'g', 'r', and 'th' create a rough, grating sound.
