Orcish / Black Speech in Amazon's “The Rings of Power” series — Season 2

This post will contain Orcish names and phrases from the second season of “The Rings of Power” series. Check my previous article about the first season. Many thanks to Bear McCreary for his blog shading light on the languages of Middle-Earth used in the show's songs.

I like that Black Speech is now featured in almost every episode.

I do not publish the full wordlists because the information isn't complete (probably, it will not be until the end of the show) and I'm not good at recognizing the sounds of language I don't know. However, few 100% confirmed words are now included into Orcish-English-Russian dictionary of blackspeech.de.

Also, now it's confirmed that the translations into Tolkien's languages are done by a team lead by Carl F. Hostetter.

Transcriber updated

BSSScribe – a Tengwar, Cirth and Glagolitic transcriber was updated.

Important news

Now when I have several armies, Nûrlâm is no longer considered a dialect of Black Speech conlang, but rather an independent constructed language! In the near future all mentions of phrases “dialect” and “Black Speech” will be deleted from the Black Speech School site and it's wiki.

Major revision of dictionary

A lot of words related to directions (left, top, down, etc.) were revisited. Don't worry, very few basic roots were changed, but the grammar was.

Translation of Orcish lullaby based on the Lay of Leithian was finished!

Previously, I published an Orcish lullaby based on the Lay of Leithian composed in English. And after a long time the poetical translation into Nûrlâm is now complete! You can read it at Nûrlâm's wiki.

By the way, the Nûrlâm's dictionary now has more than 2000 words! But a significant revision is coming...
