Reddit users have discovered that Orcish Nations site's word-list (mostly from MERP dialect) has quite a lot Albanian words. Unfortunately these words were borrowed into Svartiska and Shadowlandian dialects too. Original post. The fact of borrowing from Albanian would be OK if it wasn't almost half of the wordlist with very lazy phonetical adaptation. So, I discourage you from using MERP-derived words. The dictionaries were updated with new etymological information, but probably I've missed few words.
News from the Bronze Age
Reddit user u/get_on_my_level_son has made an amazing One Ring inscription in Hittite cuneiform (with ink and paper though, it's time to make a clay tablet 😊). Source
Announcement
In year 2013 I've started the Black Speech School site to collect all available information about various fan-invented "dialects" of Neo Black Speech, a language created by J. R. R. Tolkien for his "The Lord of the Rings" book, and translate it into Russian. This blog was started to replace site's dead forum used now only to publish news and occasional articles, which is not the best format for these activities. Moreover old forum's engine is not compatible with more up-to-date technologies I'm migrating the site to.
So, I encourage to visit Black Speech School's Discord server for actual discussion, while this blog will serve as the platform for news and rare articles. The blog will be filled with the copies of older forum's articles first in a couple of months.
