A NOTE ON ORCISH PRONOUNCIATION

A linguistic slur has it that Orcish is a monosyllabic language because orcs have difficulty memorising more than one syllable at a time. This is not true. Many Orcish names consist of as many as three, or even four, syllables. They are pronounced as follows:

Ashnak — ASH-nak

Barashkukor — BA-rash-KU-kor

Chahkamnit — Chah-KAM-nit

Dakashnit — Da-KASH-nit

Imhullu — Im-HUL-lu

Lugashaldim — LU-gash-AL-dim

Marukka — Ma-RUK-ka

Razitshakra — RA-zit-SHAK-ra

Shazgurim — Shaz-GUR-im

Varimnak — VA-rim-nak

Zarkingu — Zar-KING-u
