-[[canon|Canonical]] Black Speech is divided into //Classical Black Speech// invented by Sauron and //Debased Black Speech//, a collective name for various dialects and languages spoken by Orcs in the Third Age. While some words of Black Speech were borrowed from languages of Orcs of the First Age (like suffix "-hai" and the name "Gothmog"), 1st Age Orcish is not a Black Speech, and judging by various personal names, could be called a "debased" Sindarin. Antony Appleyard suggested term "[[angband_orcish|Angband Orkish]]".+[[canon|Canonical]] Black Speech is divided into //Classical Black Speech// invented by Sauron and //Debased Black Speech//, a collective name for various dialects and languages spoken by Orcs in the Third Age.
