 ==== Horngoth ==== ==== Horngoth ====
-The name of this dialect is translated as "Beast master" (literally) or as "Cowboy orkish". It's often [[abbreviations|abbreviated]] as **HORN** or **HG**. It was created by Rob Eaglestone (RE). Dictionary contains a lot of borrowings from Shadowlandian and Svartiska dialects. The unique feature of this dialect is vowel reduction in forming verbs from nouns (i.e. ghashan -- ghashn). In general it sounds more "harsh" than other existing dialects. Grammar is not explained while it's dictionary mentions a lot of derivative and grammatical particles.+The name of this dialect is translated as "Beast master" (literally) or as "Cowboy orkish".

 ==== MERP ==== ==== MERP ====
-**[[MERP]]** ([[tg>MERP|Middle-Earth Roleplay]]) -- The dictionary was published in 1995 in "Angmar" campaign setting for 2nd Edition, but about 150 words were given in 1st Edition (1989) and few others were scattered across other books since 1984 which makes it the oldest known dialect. The dictionary is also published on [[http://www.angelfire.com/ia/orcishnations/orcishphrases.html|Orcish Nations]] site but with diacritic marks missing. No grammar was given, but sometimes Sindarin rules were applied for pluralizing nouns (in 1st Edition). MERP also had a Quasi-Khuzdul, Haradric and other language inventions.+**[[MERP]]** ([[tg>MERP|Middle-Earth Roleplay]]) -- The dictionary was published in 1995 in "Angmar" campaign setting for 2nd Edition, but about 150 words were given in 1st Edition (1989) and few others were scattered across other books since 1984 which makes it the oldest known dialect.

-This dialect was created for [[http://www.thelandofshadow.com/|The Land of Shadow]] site by Scatha. It is often referred as **LOS** (abbreviation for "The Land of Shadow"). Self-title is "Uzg Bûrgulu-ob" ("Land of Shadows"). It's based on [[http://blackspeech.ru/Appleyard.txt|A. Appleyard analysis]] of Black Speech. [[wp>Quenya]] language was chosen as the main source for borrowing words missing in the dictionary. Initially the grammar was developed moderately but later was extended by enthusiasts including author of [[http://blackspeech.ru/|Black Speech School]] site and Nûrlâm dialect.+This dialect was created for [[http://www.thelandofshadow.com/|The Land of Shadow]] site by Scatha.

 ==== Svartiska ==== ==== Svartiska ====
-Svartiska ("Blackish" in Swedish, abbreviated as **SV**) is a collection of dialects based mostly on MERP created by Swedish LARP groups and systematized by Mikael "Adragoor" Bynke and David "Meldon" Burström in early 1990s. It has large dictionary and average developed grammar (however it's like two different set of rules). It seems this dialect has more users in real life than others. This dialect was not intended to look and sound like Tolkien's Black Speech but it has strong connection to his works in lexicon.+Svartiska ("Blackish" in Swedish, abbreviated as **SV**) is a collection of dialects based mostly on MERP created by Swedish LARP groups and systematized by Mikael "Adragoor" Bynke and David "Meldon" Burström in early 1990s.
