Since there will be different races and items, etc, I think it would be great if we brainstormed right now what we will call these things in Darkfall. I've been learning a lot of Black Speech lately and I wanted to summarize what I've learned. I'll try to keep it as simple as possible for those orcs that don't like to learn new words. However, a nuuburn has over 50 unique words they have to remember, so I expect that adding a bit more Orcish to our vocabulary couldn't be all too painful. Keep in mind, these ideas are only beta :)
For the races, I'll italicize the words that are not real
Black Speech. I put the words I had to extrapolate in quotes, and the words with parantheses are the real translations. I tried to have some "Oomie sounding" alternatives, but I prefer that we choose black speech names for things. I underlined the words I like the most (usually because they were the shortest and easiest).
Human =
Oomie, Shara
Bloodclan Ork =
Ork,
Urk
Mirdain (Elf) =
Elb,
Elv,
Mirdum, Golog, Karanzol, Paken,
Zan, Albh
Dwarf =
Liddulguy, Shakutarbik, Vok,
Gazat
Mahirim =
Mahirim,
Wolfie, Naur (werewolf),
Burujak "Man Wolf",
Scarashar "Wolf Man"
Alfar =
Alfar,
Darkelb,
Burzan "Darkelf", Zanorrat "Elfdark"
I can't decide on the Mahirim. Comments appreciated.
