Another Black Speech video (don't sigh!!). A tengwar script of the entire ring verse was requested and I'm not one to say no when it comes to Tolkien. I used a downloadable tool called 'tengscribe' to translate the entire verse in the written form.

Shre nazg golugranu kilmi-nudu,
(Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky)
Ombi kuzddurbagu gundum-ishi,
(Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone)
Nugu gurunkilu bard gurutu,
(Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,)
Ash Burz-Durbagu burzum-ishi
(One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,)
Daghburz-ishi makha gulshu darulu.
(in the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.)
Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,
(One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,)
ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul
(One Ring to bring them all and in the Darkness bind them)
Daghburz-ishi makha gulshu darulu.
(in the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.)

Please note that only part of this speech/writing is based on the work of Tolkien. the rest is compiled using neo-Black Speech by David Salo that was used for the movie version of the book.

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

  • @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.

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

  • @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.

see all

  • @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?

    I using this: lambenor.free.fr/tengwar/lengn­eg.html

  • @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.

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

  • 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
