Black Speech of Mordor [Tengwar & SFX]

[CarrotDoctor]

pretty sure its "gakh (Shre) nazgu" u is the plural suffix in black speech

[MrFunkyBoogaloo]

@CarrotDoctor As alluded to in the description I'm using "Neo Black Speech" - created for use in the movies - seeing as only one line of Black Speech was ever written by Tolkien.

[CarrotDoctor]

@MrFunkyBoogaloo is there not a bunch of fancy orc slang?

[MrFunkyBoogaloo]

@CarrotDoctor Orcs do borrow a few words from the Black Speech (like 'hai' and 'olog') but mostly they use Westron when communicating with each other.

Not bad! But i have a problem. The Black Speach dont using "e". The three in Black Speach is not "shre". It is "gakh" .

[MrFunkyBoogaloo]

@piki68 There are many different version of 'Black Speech' seeing as Tolkien never gave us more than a few lines of the language. The version used in the video is that of David Salo - which was used in the films. I am however working on another video with the other version of Black Speech that contains the word "gakh". Thank you for the Feedback.

@MrFunkyBoogaloo Thank you to the reference, I don't know this version. I'm using a version from a spanish site ( i think is spanish). Can you tell me where can I find your version?

[isubastars]

and with some effect like the film??it could be great..XD with the dark echo and something like that,im sure you can do it and it could be better,i think,but 5 stars now XD

@abelcardenas05 None of it is elvish; the entire poem is in Black Speech, which Sautron created himself for his minions to speak.

[RulerL0rd]

I'm very impressed. This is being favorited.

[teshanovic1]

You have a sexy voice...;)

[TheCursedChosen1]

If only this was an actual foreign language course... :P

[3X0N]

sounds like an arab language.

[EdikShepherd]

@3X0N Kinda... except Arabic is one of those "rolls off the tongue" languages. I think Tolkien probably wanted a clash with the flow of Middle Eastern and the rock hard feel of Nordic languages when he did Black Speech.

[Fab4Sunrises]

Man, i'm almost afraid to speak it.

I mean, it IS the language of Mordor.

[gabrielmicallef]

you have a wonderful pronounciation, from where do you get these 'translated' speeches?

[PassionatelyPurple]

@MrFunkyBoogaloo Ah, I thought that was probably the case. And yes, I know that s+h is pronounced "sh". My spelling it as "zsh" was only an (obviously bad. lol) attempt to empahise that it had a slightly more gutteral sound than in the typical english pronunciation of those letters. So, sorry for any confusion there. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to reply. I shall look forward to the updated version. :)

[PassionatelyPurple]

This is beautiful. You have a wonderful voice. :)

I notice that you're pronouncing the s+h combination in -ishi as a "ss" (i.e. "-issi") though. Is there a reason for that? or are you just basing your pronunciation on Ian McKellen's in FOTR? You see, I thought s+h was always "zsh" in Black Speech (as, for example, in Alan Howard's lines as Sauron/The Ring)?

[zetadiamond063]

YES!!!!! :D perfect! pronunciation, the raining in the background, AND you had the translation with the original script! this made my day better :]

[cuallito]

I'm gonna put on some black hooded robes and follow people down dark alleyways while not-so-subtly muttering this to myself.

Not really.

[tallboysmith]

AMAZIN stuff! wonder if i can get an mp3 version from you!

[Cybelian83]

Yea sounds like it could be a Caucasus language:)

[Cybelian83]

Even though this is a made up language ... the letters look very similar to Georgian Language

[ddduncan7]

@MrFunkyBoogaloo very cool. Are those appendices in the back of the trilogy books?

[ddduncan7]

awesome!! where did you learn to speak?

[flojo83]

"Ashi!"
