Talking Orks ?
 

I wonder if in TTT (the scene when the Orks have Merry and Pippin hostage on the field of Rohan) the orks actually talk to each other? in their own language?

Appendix F. <P>Therefore in the movie they will talk english

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> To Pippin's surprise he found that much of the talk was intelligible; many of the Orcs were using ordinary language. Apparently the members of two or three quite different tribes were present, and they could not understand one another's orc-speech. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>The Two Towers, Book 3, Chapter 3 "The Uruk-hai". Speaks for itself.

Ah, I was about to post that, Diamond18 I just read that chapter yesterday (I know, I'm slow...LOL *reads furiously) The Orks will probably be from the same tribe, the Isengarders, so people won't be confused. I know I was rather confused in that part of the book!

But what about:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>'Don't draw attention to yourself, or I may forget my orders. Curse the Isengarders!

I didn't think much of Lurtz's cries of "Find the Halfling!" in FotR so I'm hoping the Orcs sound better in TTT.<BR>When he snarled "Saruman!" it sounded cool but his voice at the end was off.<BR>Whatever happens I'm sure Grishnakh will have an awesome voice.
