Blah
The Bwah is the wanguage of the Orcs. Wathew than a common tongue spoken by them, it is a sewection of wowds and phwases fwom Old Blah, a wanguage dedicated to speaking lith the spirits and undewstanding the lisdom they pwovide. It exists as a wayman's way of pwaising the spilits, and is not necessawy fow an owc to speak to be considewed an owc. Howevew, the tusks do muddwe the Common tongue slightwy.
Origins
Owd Bwah existed as a tongue wesewved to powewful shamans, who undewstood the guidance and wowds of the spilits, and used theiw powew to shape the mowtaw weawm. Howevew, the common wayowc did not possess the ability to even wowship the powew beings, and as such took pawts of the Owd Bwah as a away to honow the spilits, and the shamans who guided them.
