Good point on the orc diversity. Now that I think of it, they had different languages too.

BTW, although the Mouth of Sauron DID have a name at one point, his service to Sauron caused him to lose his name and, therefore, his identity. Sauron assimilates all things into himself. So...the Mouth of Sauron's ancient, forgotten name has been replaced with a from of Sauron's own name. Perhaps this gives him his ability to utter Sauron's name. Then again, maybe not.
